Can older babies use Lauryl Peg 8 Dimethicone?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants, babies), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin. Most health concerns listed for it are low. There is a note that trace impurities can sometimes be present, so we stay a little cautious.
✅What to Do
If you need to use a product that lists this ingredient: choose products made for babies, use a small amount the first time, do a short patch test on a small area of the baby’s skin, and watch for any redness or rash for 24–48 hours. Prefer products from brands that specifically make baby formulations and avoid using many different leave-on products with the same ingredient at once.
⚠️Warnings
The ingredient database flags possible contamination with cyclopentasiloxane (D5) and cyclotetrasiloxane (D4) as impurities — these are the main reason some programs restrict the ingredient. Also, if your baby has very sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of reactions, avoid this ingredient until you’ve tested a small area. If you see persistent redness, swelling, or irritation after use, stop using the product and talk with your pediatrician.
