ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants), this ingredient is generally used to thicken or smooth products and usually does not cause problems. But there are some reports of possible contamination with other chemicals during manufacturing, so we should be careful.
✅What to Do
If you plan to use a product for your infant: pick products meant for babies when possible, prefer brands that test ingredient purity, avoid putting it on broken or raw skin, do a small patch test first (a pea-sized amount on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours), and stop use if you see any redness, swelling, or rash. Use sparingly and avoid frequent long-term application over large areas of baby skin.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, swelling, or any signs of irritation and stop use right away. The reason for extra caution is contamination concerns reported for this ingredient (possible residues like methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, or benzene). Safety reviews from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel note it should be formulated to avoid irritation. If the product label doesn’t show purity testing or is not marketed for infants, consider avoiding it or asking the brand about testing.
