Can older babies use Capryloyl Glycine?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants), capryloyl glycine is generally low risk when it’s in products made for babies. It is not linked to serious long-term harms in the available data, but expert reviewers note it should be used within certain limits and can sometimes cause irritation.
✅What to Do
Use only products labeled for babies or young children. Do a small patch test on the baby’s thigh or inner arm and wait 24 hours before using more widely. Avoid applying to broken, red, or raw skin and keep the product away from the eyes. Follow any concentration or dilution instructions on the product label.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, a rash, increased fussiness, or eye irritation. The guidance about possible irritation and the recommendation for concentration limits comes from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR). If the reaction spreads or your baby seems unwell, contact your pediatrician right away.
