For babies aged 6 to 12 months this ingredient is generally low risk. It helps creams and lotions spread smoothly and usually does not cause serious problems. A very small number of people have had skin reactions.
✅What to Do
Use products made for babies or labeled for sensitive skin. Try a small patch (inner arm or thigh) first and wait 24–48 hours to look for redness or a rash. If your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, consider avoiding new products or check with your child’s healthcare provider before using. Stop use and wash the area if you see irritation.

Watch for redness, swelling, itching, or a rash — these signs come from human case reports of possible allergy. Animal studies have shown irritation only at high doses (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Some safety programs limit its use unless manufacturers provide extra safety data. If irritation happens, stop use and talk with your pediatrician.
