Can older babies use Ppg 9?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies aged 6–12 months, PPG-9 is generally considered low risk when used in small amounts in products made for babies. Baby skin is thinner and more sensitive than older children’s, so extra care is needed.
✅What to Do
Prefer products specifically formulated for babies. If using a product that contains PPG-9, use a small amount and avoid repeated heavy application. Do a patch test on a small area of the baby’s arm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation before wider use. Keep products away from the baby’s eyes, nose, and mouth. If the product is meant to be rinsed off (bath products, shampoos), that is lower risk than long-term leave-on use.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, coughing or breathing changes — stop use immediately and talk with your pediatrician if these occur. Avoid using PPG-9 on broken, inflamed, or eczema-prone skin. These cautions come from regulatory reviews: the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (which says it’s safe with some limits) and Environment Canada (which flagged possible organ system toxicity and notes irritation concerns). If a product isn’t labelled for infants, choose a baby-specific alternative when possible.
