ℹ️General Overview
Isoeugenol is a fragrance chemical that commonly causes skin allergies. For babies 6-12 months old, it can irritate or sensitize the skin, so it is best treated with caution.
✅What to Do
Choose fragrance-free baby products whenever possible. Read labels for “isoeugenol” or simply “fragrance/parfum.” If you must use a product that may contain it, try a tiny amount on a small area once and watch for 24–48 hours. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or any breathing difficulty.
