ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old, Copper PCA is likely low risk when used in small amounts on normal, healthy skin. The available safety review shows low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental harm, but it also flags environmental persistence and some animal study findings.
✅What to Do
If you use a product with Copper PCA on a 6–12 month-old: choose products formulated for babies, use only a small amount, avoid applying it to broken, red, or irritated skin, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, do a small patch test (apply a tiny amount to a small patch of skin and wait 24 hours), and stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, blisters, or other concerning reactions.
⚠️Warnings
The safety information notes persistence and buildup in wildlife (Environment Canada) and that some animal studies showed organ effects at moderate doses (EPA).
