For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), Lauryl Laurate is generally safe when it’s used in normal baby products. It’s not linked to cancer or long-term harm in the available safety reviews. The main thing parents see sometimes is skin or eye irritation in sensitive people.
Use products made for babies and follow the product directions. Before using a new product, try a small patch test on your baby’s inner forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours. Keep products away from your baby’s eyes and mouth. If your baby has redness, rash, swelling, or irritation, stop using the product and wash the area with water. If irritation continues or is severe, contact your pediatrician.
Watch for skin redness, itching, rash, or eye irritation — these are the most likely issues. The precaution about irritation comes from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (a safety review body). Also avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin. If you can’t find a baby-formulated product or if the product lists a high concentration of active additives, choose a gentler option.
