Can older babies use Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants aged 6–12 months (babies, toddlers under 1 year), this licorice-derived ingredient is usually low risk when it is in products made for babies at small amounts. It helps calm and soothe skin and is not known to be strongly irritating at the low levels used.
✅What to Do
Use only products formulated for babies or labeled safe for infants. Do a small patch test first (apply a pea-sized amount to a small area on the inner forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours). Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin, and keep products away from the mouth and eyes. If redness, swelling, or a rash appears, stop use and talk to your child’s pediatrician. Prefer products that list simple, short ingredient lists and are transparent about being meant for infants.
⚠️Warnings
Industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) recommend limits on how much of this ingredient is used in products and recommend controls on impurities — this is the reason some product programs ask manufacturers for extra safety data. There are also data gaps about the maximum concentrations used in some products. Watch for signs of skin allergy or irritation and avoid products that do not state they are safe for babies or that have unknown concentrations. If the product will be used frequently or over large areas of the body, check with your child’s pediatrician first.
