Check for Different Age (6 available)
Can older babies use Ppg 26 Buteth 26?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies aged 6 to 12 months, this ingredient is usually low concern in baby skin products, but there are some safety questions about impurities and mild irritation. So it can be used with care, not freely.
✅What to Do
Choose baby-specific products or ones that clearly test for impurities. Before using on your baby, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use only a small amount, avoid the face and diaper area if the skin is broken, and avoid getting it in the eyes. If your baby shows redness, rash, swelling, or fussiness after application, stop use and check with your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Do not use on broken or very irritated skin. Watch for signs of irritation (redness, swelling, rash, eye watering). There is a specific contamination concern with butyl alcohol noted by review panels; some regulators also note limited data and recommend limits on concentration or testing (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, Environment Canada, and FDA references). Some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety documentation — prefer brands that share testing information.
