ℹ️General Overview

For babies aged 6–12 months (infants, little ones), this ingredient is low risk when used on the skin. It’s used to help mix and soften ingredients and most safety checks come back low.

✅What to Do

Before widespread use, do a patch test: put a small amount on the inside of your baby’s forearm and wait 24 hours. Use the product only on intact (unbroken) skin and avoid the eyes. Start with a small amount and choose products with few extra active ingredients. If your baby has a history of sensitive skin or eczema, talk with your pediatrician first.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for local irritation — redness, rash, swelling, or eye watering — because the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) notes possible skin/eye/lung irritation though evidence is unassessed. If you see irritation or any breathing changes, stop use and contact your child’s healthcare provider. Also avoid using sprays or powders that could be inhaled.
