Can older babies use C13 15 Alkane?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants, babies, toddlers under one year) this ingredient carries moderate concern. Official hazard lists flag it as a possible cancer risk and there is some evidence it can irritate skin or affect organs. Because babies are still developing, it’s safer to be cautious.
✅What to Do
When caring for a 6–12 month old: choose baby products that do not list C13-15 alkane if possible. If a product you already have contains it, use it only sparingly, on small areas, and not on broken or irritated skin. Don’t use it every day over large areas. If your baby gets a rash, redness, swelling, or any breathing trouble, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Official sources list this as a possible human carcinogen (EU GHS) and note limited evidence of skin irritation and non-reproductive organ toxicity (European Chemicals Agency). The ingredient is also restricted in some product verification programs. Watch for skin redness, new rashes, swelling, or breathing changes and avoid applying to broken skin, the diaper area for prolonged periods, or using it frequently over large areas.
