Can older babies use Ethyl Macadamiate?
ℹ️General Overview
Ethyl Macadamiate is a skin-softening oil made from macadamia nuts. For babies 6–12 months old it is generally low risk when used on normal skin.
✅What to Do
Use products made for babies and apply a small amount to a patch of normal skin first (for example, behind the ear or on the inner forearm). Wait 24 hours to check for any redness or irritation before wider use. Don’t put it on broken or sore skin, and keep it away from your baby’s eyes and mouth. If your baby has a known tree-nut allergy or a family history of severe allergies, check with your pediatrician before using.
⚠️Warnings
This ingredient comes from macadamia nut oil; public ingredient safety listings note a low risk of allergic reaction because of that nut origin. Avoid it if your baby has a tree-nut allergy or a family history of severe allergic reactions. Stop use and see a doctor if you notice redness, rash, swelling, hives, or any breathing trouble after contact. Also avoid application to broken or inflamed skin and keep products out of your baby’s mouth and eyes.
