6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For an infant (6-12 months), Cetyl Ester is considered low risk when used on the skin. The safety data we checked shows very few concerns. Still, babies have sensitive skin, so we treat new ingredients carefully.
Before using a product with this ingredient on your baby, test a tiny amount on a small patch of skin (behind the ear or inner forearm) and wait 24–48 hours. Use only small amounts and avoid the eyes, mouth, and any cuts or broken skin. Choose products made for babies when possible. If the baby develops redness, swelling, itchiness, or a rash, stop use and check with your pediatrician.
Watch for signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, swelling, hives, blistering). Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin, and do not apply near the eyes or mouth. These precautions are based on the safety database review that shows low overall concerns but limited specific infant testing. If a severe reaction occurs, seek medical care right away.
