6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), this olive-derived ingredient is usually safe for skin use. It has low overall concern, but a small number of people may get mild irritation.
Before using on your baby, put a tiny amount on a small area of their inner forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours to check for redness or swelling. Use products made for babies or sensitive skin, apply a small amount to intact skin only, avoid the face and hands near the mouth, and stop use if you see irritation. If your baby has eczema or a strong history of allergies, check with your pediatrician first.
Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin. Watch for redness, swelling, itching, watery eyes, coughing or breathing changes — if any of these happen, rinse the area and stop use and call your pediatrician. These warnings come from safety reviews that noted limited evidence of skin, eye, or respiratory irritation (European Chemicals Agency) and from a lab test note of possible genetic effects seen in cell studies (U.S. EPA). Industry reviewers also recommend limits on concentration or product types (Cosmetic Ingredient Review), and regulators note the ingredient can appear in foods or other products so cumulative exposure is possible (U.S. FDA).
