6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies aged 6–12 months, C15-19 Alkane is probably low risk for things like cancer or allergies, but there is a serious note that it is restricted or banned in some places. That makes it a moderate concern for babies because their skin is still sensitive.
When caring for a 6–12 month old (infant, baby): choose baby-specific products that do not list C15-19 Alkane when possible. If you find a product with this ingredient, don’t use it on large areas, damaged skin, or the face. Prefer products that clearly state they are safe for babies and have manufacturer safety information. If you must use a product with this ingredient, test a very small area first and watch the baby closely for 24–48 hours.
Avoid using products with this ingredient on newborns, infants, or on broken or irritated skin. The reason for caution is a listed use restriction referenced to the EU Cosmetics Directive, which notes that the ingredient has been banned or found unsafe for use in cosmetics in that regulation. Stop use and call your pediatrician if your baby develops redness, swelling, hives, blisters, or unusual fussiness after application.
