Can older babies use Glyceryl Stearate Citrate?
ℹ️General Overview
For 6–12 month old babies (infants and babies), this ingredient is usually low risk. It’s used to make lotions and wipes feel smooth and stable. Most assessments say it’s safe in normal amounts, but there are some gaps in direct safety testing and a few tests showed irritation at higher doses.
✅What to Do
Use products made and labeled for babies and follow the product instructions. Before regular use, try a small patch test on a clean area of your baby’s inner forearm or thigh and watch for 24–48 hours. Don’t put products with this ingredient on broken, red or very dry cracked skin. If you see a rash, redness, swelling or fussiness after use, stop using the product and talk with your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin irritation (redness, rash, or stinging) — some safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and related industry assessments) noted irritation in animal studies and pointed out missing direct safety data. Also note that some product verification standards require manufacturers to justify using this ingredient. Avoid use on broken skin or near the eyes, and be extra cautious if the product contains many other active ingredients or fragrances.
