Can older babies use Glyceryl Oleate?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants 6–12 months (babies), glyceryl oleate is usually safe in topical creams and lotions. It helps mix oil and water and conditions skin. Most experts consider it low risk for long-term problems, but some people can get irritation.
✅What to Do
Use products made for babies or labeled for sensitive skin. Do a small patch test on a non‑delicate area (like the inner forearm) before first use. Apply a small amount, avoid getting it in the eyes, and do not use on broken or very irritated skin. If your baby develops redness, swelling, stinging, or a rash, stop using the product and talk to your pediatrician.
