Can older babies use Cellulose?
ℹ️General Overview
Cellulose is a natural plant fiber used to thicken or stabilize creams and lotions. For babies aged 6–12 months it is generally very safe when used on normal, unbroken skin.
✅What to Do
Choose baby-formulated products that list simple ingredients. Before using a new product on your baby's skin, do a small patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours. Avoid using products with cellulose on cuts, rashes, or broken skin. Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see persistent redness, swelling, or a rash.
