6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6-12 months (infants, older babies), this ingredient is generally safe when used in normal baby creams and lotions. Most safety data show very low concern for long-term effects. The main thing noted is a small chance of mild skin or eye irritation.
Use products that are made for babies and follow the product instructions. Before using a new product all over, do a small patch test: put a little on the inside of the forearm or the thigh and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Don’t put products near the eyes, inside the mouth, or on broken or raw skin. Avoid spray formulations that could be breathed in. If you see any redness, swelling, blisters, or your baby seems uncomfortable, stop use and talk to your pediatrician.
Watch for skin redness, rash, stinging, or eye irritation. The safety data notes possible irritation (skin/eye/lung) and cites a Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) assessment as the source of that finding. If your baby has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or lips, or a severe reaction, seek emergency care right away. Products containing this ingredient plus fragrances or other active ingredients may raise irritation risk, so prefer plain baby-formulated products.
