ℹ️General Overview
For babies aged 6–12 months, this ingredient is generally considered low risk. It’s used to soften and smooth skin and is commonly found in lotions and creams. Most healthy infants tolerate it well.
✅What to Do
Use products that are made for babies and follow the product directions. Before first use, do a small patch test on the inside of the baby’s forearm or the skin behind the knee and wait 24 hours to check for redness or swelling. Avoid using it on broken or very irritated skin. Don’t use sprays or mists containing this ingredient near a baby’s face to reduce any chance of breathing irritation. If your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before regular use.

Stop using the product and call your pediatrician if you see persistent redness, swelling, blisters, breathing changes, or if the baby seems uncomfortable after application.
