Can older babies use Montmorillonite?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6-12 months (infants, little ones, babies), montmorillonite is a natural clay that is usually low risk when used on the skin. Most safety checks find little concern, but there is limited direct testing in babies and some safety reviews used data from similar chemicals rather than this one exactly.
✅What to Do
Use products made for babies or products from trusted brands that state safe use for infants. Do a small patch test on a clean area of your baby’s thigh or arm and wait 24 hours before using more widely. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin and keep the product away from your baby’s eyes, nose and mouth. Prefer products with clear manufacturing and purity information and follow the product directions.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, blistering, or increased fussiness after applying — stop use and talk to your child’s clinician if you see these. Safety reviews noted that assessments sometimes rely on related chemicals (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and that some product verification programs restrict use unless manufacturers supply safety data about concentrations and impurities, so avoid products that do not disclose safety or sourcing information.
