For babies 6–12 months (infants, little ones): Coco-Caprylate is generally safe. It’s a mild, lightweight moisturizer that most babies tolerate well and is commonly used in baby lotions and wipes.
Use products labeled for babies and follow the product directions. Before using widely, do a small patch test on a thigh or inner arm and watch for 24–48 hours for redness or irritation. Don’t put products with this ingredient on broken, red, or inflamed skin. If your baby gets a rash, swelling, or seems uncomfortable after application, stop use and wash the area with plain water.
Safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note it is generally safe but may have use limits and a small risk of skin or eye irritation. Watch for redness, swelling, flaking, or fussiness after application. Avoid getting the product in the eyes or mouth, and avoid use on open sores or rashes. If any strong reaction occurs, contact your pediatrician or seek medical care.
