Can older babies use Methyldihydrojasmonate?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants 6–12 months (baby, infant), this fragrance ingredient is not thought to be highly toxic, but it is known to cause allergic skin reactions in some people. Because baby skin is sensitive, there is a moderate chance of a reaction.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that contains this ingredient on a 6–12 month old: prefer fragrance-free products when possible; if you do use it, apply only a small amount to a limited area (not the face or diaper area) and watch the spot for 24–48 hours. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm or leg first. Stop use immediately if you see redness, rash, swelling, or if the baby seems uncomfortable or has breathing changes. Check with your child’s pediatrician before using new fragranced products.
⚠️Warnings
The EU Cosmetics Directive lists this ingredient as a human allergen — that is the main reason to be cautious with babies. Avoid putting fragranced products on broken or irritated skin, near the eyes, mouth, or nose. If a baby develops a rash, worsening skin, or any breathing or swelling symptoms after contact, stop use and seek medical advice. Other reviews by Environment Canada and the European Chemicals Agency indicate low concerns for long-term toxicity or persistence, but these do not remove the allergy risk.
