The ingredient’s safety listing shows low concern for cancer, allergies, reproductive or use restrictions. However, testing specifically in babies is limited, so watch closely for any reactions.
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on a 6-12 month old baby: 1) Choose products made for babies or with simple ingredient lists. 2) Do a patch test: put a small amount on a small area (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24 hours before regular use. 3) Use on healthy, unbroken skin only and apply sparingly at first. 4) If you see redness, rash, swelling, or the baby seems uncomfortable, stop use and wash the area.
The provided safety data for this ingredient notes low concern for allergies and other hazards, but allergic reactions can still happen. Watch for signs of allergy (redness, hives, swelling, breathing trouble) and avoid using on broken or very irritated skin. If a reaction occurs, stop use and seek medical advice.
