ℹ️General Overview
For infants 6–12 months (babies), this ingredient is likely low risk when used on the skin in small amounts. Safety data for this age is limited, so we should be careful because baby skin is delicate.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that contains this ingredient on a 6–12 month old baby: choose a product made for babies or one with a low concentration; try a small patch test on a parent first and then on a small area of the baby’s leg or arm; wait 24 hours to watch for any redness, bumpiness, or swelling; use a very small amount and avoid the face, eyes, nose, and mouth; do not apply to broken, raw, or irritated skin.
⚠️Warnings
The ingredient summary notes a low-level concern for allergic reactions, so watch for rash, redness, itching, or swelling and stop use right away if any of these happen. The same summary lists low concern for cancer and for effects on development, but those are not reasons to ignore allergic signs. If your baby develops a widespread rash, breathing trouble, or swelling of the face or lips, seek medical help immediately. If you are unsure, ask your child’s pediatrician before use.
