Can older babies use Dicaprylyl Carbonate?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies aged 6–12 months, dicaprylyl carbonate is generally low risk. It’s an ingredient that helps skin feel soft and smooth. Most safety checks show no major long-term hazards, but a small number of people may get mild skin or eye irritation.
✅What to Do
Use products made for babies and follow the label. Before using a new product on your 6–12 month old, do a small patch test on a tiny area (for example, the inside of the forearm or behind the ear) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Apply only small amounts, avoid the eye area and broken or very red skin, and stop use if your baby shows any irritation. If a product is specially labeled for infants or has been tested for baby skin, prefer that over adult products.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, rash, or stinging — the main concern comes from limited evidence of skin or eye irritation reported by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. Also note that some product verification programs require extra safety documentation before allowing this ingredient in certified baby products. If irritation occurs, rinse the area with water and stop use; contact your pediatrician if symptoms persist or are severe.
