✅What to Do
If you plan to use a product with this ingredient on your baby: 1) Do a small patch test on the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. 2) Don’t use it on broken or irritated skin. 3) For babies with eczema or known food/protein allergies, avoid it or check with your pediatrician first. 4) Use products sparingly and avoid heavy, daily application over large areas until you know your baby tolerates it.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or breathing changes — these are signs of an allergic reaction and need a doctor. Note: a federal agency found positive mutation signals in some non-mammal lab tests (EPA), but human data do not show a mutagen risk; food regulators consider limited use acceptable (FDA); and industry reviewers recommend manufacturing or use limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also, some product certification programs may restrict this ingredient unless makers provide safety data, so check product labels and manufacturer information.
