For babies 6–12 months (infants), proline is very low risk. It’s a natural amino acid used to help skin feel smooth and is not known to cause serious health problems.
If you want to use a product that lists proline: choose products made for babies when possible, try a small patch on the inside of the wrist or forearm first, use small amounts, avoid applying to broken skin or near the eyes, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, or a rash. If you’re unsure, ask your pediatrician.
Watch for signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, swelling, hives, persistent rash). Although major health concerns are rated very low by regulatory authorities such as the U.S. FDA and Environment Canada, some product standards require makers to document safety before use — this is about product labeling and manufacturing, not direct harm to babies. If a product contains many other ingredients you don’t recognize, or if the product is not made for infants, be more cautious and consider choosing a baby-formulated option.
