6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies aged 6–12 months (infants, little ones), this ingredient is low risk. It’s a gentle helper used to keep creams and lotions smooth. Most safety notes say the main issue could be mild irritation to skin or eyes, otherwise other serious concerns are considered low.
Use products that are specifically made for babies, applied to clean, dry skin. Before using a new product, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Avoid applying to broken or very red skin. Keep products away from baby’s eyes and mouth. If you see a new rash, swelling, or persistent irritation, stop use and check with your pediatrician.
There is a note from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) that the evidence about skin/eye/lung irritation hasn’t been fully determined (weight of evidence unknown). Because of that, watch for any redness, swelling, rash, watery eyes, coughing, or breathing changes after use. Also be mindful that available safety summaries list cancer, allergy, developmental/reproductive issues, and use restrictions as low concerns, so they are not the main worry here.
