6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months (infants), this ingredient has a moderate risk for causing skin allergies or irritation. It can also help other ingredients get into the skin more easily. Overall, it should be used carefully on little ones.
Prefer products made for babies that list milder, well-studied ingredients. If a product contains glyceryl rosin (glyceryl rosinates), use it sparingly and on small areas first. Do a small patch test on a non-diaper area and wait 48–72 hours to check for redness or rash. Avoid using it on broken, red, or sore skin and avoid applying near the mouth or eyes. If possible choose rinse-off formulations or products labeled safe for infants and follow product age recommendations.
Do not use on newborns or on open wounds. Watch for signs of a reaction (redness, swelling, itching, or rash) and stop use immediately if any appear. The safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence it can cause skin allergies and recommends limits on where and how it is used; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notes it may appear in multiple product types which can add up to greater exposure. If a reaction occurs or you are unsure, contact your pediatrician.
