For a 6-12 month old baby (infant), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal baby creams and lotions. It helps mix oil and water and is not linked to major safety problems in topical use.
Use products specifically made for babies. Before using a new product, put a tiny amount on a small area (behind the ear or inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness. Avoid putting products with this ingredient on broken or very irritated skin. If your baby develops a rash, stop use and talk to your pediatrician.
A cosmetic industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) noted that some safety conclusions were based on related chemicals and that there may be recommendations about concentrations or product types. Because of that, avoid concentrated or industrial forms, avoid use on broken skin or near the eyes, and watch for any skin irritation or rash. If you see persistent redness, swelling, or any signs of an allergic reaction, contact your child's healthcare provider.
