For infants (6–12 months), this ingredient is generally low risk. It is used to make skin feel soft and smooth and has low evidence of causing cancer, allergies, or developmental harm in the data available. However, some safety programs ask for extra proof before allowing it in certified products.
If you use a product that contains this ingredient on your baby, choose products made for babies or from trusted brands, apply sparingly, avoid broken or sore skin, keep it away from eyes and mouth, and wash hands after application. Do a small patch test (apply a tiny amount on the inner arm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation before using more widely.
Stop use and see a doctor if you notice redness, swelling, rash, or any sign of irritation. The ingredient listing notes restrictions used by some product verification programs and refers to industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) about safe concentrations and impurities — that is the source of the caution. Avoid products that do not list full ingredient information or make broad claims without safety data.
