For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), Isopropyl Isostearate is generally low risk when used on the skin. It’s a moisturizing ingredient and is not linked to cancer, major allergy concerns, or growth/reproductive problems in the available reviews.
Use products for babies or those labeled for sensitive skin. Put a small amount on a small area first (patch test) and wait 24 hours to make sure there is no redness or rash. Avoid putting products with this ingredient on broken or sore skin, near the mouth, or in the eyes. If your baby’s skin looks irritated, stop use and wash the area with water.
Some safety reviews note limits on how much can be used and mention possible skin or eye irritation (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). There are also some data gaps noted by the same review process. An environmental health review found it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body (source: Environment Canada). Watch for any redness, swelling, blistering, or crying when a product is applied — these are signs to stop and check with your pediatrician. Do not use products with unknown concentrations or unlabelled industrial formulations on infants.
