Can older babies use Glycine?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants), glycine is generally safe in skin products at the levels normally used in cosmetics. It is a simple building-block molecule and is not known to cause harm when used as intended.
✅What to Do
Use products made for babies that list glycine at normal formulation levels. Before using a new product, test a small patch of skin on your baby's inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or irritation. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, avoid the eye and mouth area, and do not use concentrated powders or DIY mixes containing glycine. If your baby has eczema, very sensitive skin, or a history of allergies, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, or a rash after applying a product containing glycine — stop use and consult your pediatrician if these occur. Note that some product-certification programs may restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide extra safety documentation (source: government and industry reviews such as the U.S. FDA, Environment Canada, and Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also be careful that products for babies do not contain other ingredients your child may be sensitive to.
