Can older babies use Isopropyl Palmitate?
ℹ️General Overview
For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), isopropyl palmitate is generally considered safe when used in normal baby lotions and wipes. It helps soften and smooth skin and is not linked to major health risks at the low levels used in these products.
✅What to Do
Use products that are formulated for babies. Do a small patch test on a tiny area (inside of the forearm or behind the knee) before wider use. Avoid applying to broken, sore, or very red skin. If your baby has a history of sensitive skin, eczema or allergies, choose products made for sensitive skin and talk with your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any signs of skin irritation such as redness, swelling, or rash and stop use if these appear. An industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes limits on concentration and some data gaps — so avoid heavy or repeated full-body applications unless the product is intended for daily infant use. Regulatory reviews (Environment Canada) list this ingredient as low concern for broader health risks, and the FDA notes it can be used in limited ways; these sources support low risk but also point out the importance of formulation and concentration.
