Can older babies use Saccharum Officinarum Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (older infants), this sugarcane-derived extract is usually safe on the skin. The ingredient itself shows low health concerns, but there is a possible contamination risk from substances called PAHs that can come in during processing.
✅What to Do
Pick products from brands that test for contaminants or show third‑party verification. Prefer rinse-off products (like bath products) over leave-on creams if you are unsure. Do a small patch test on a clean area of your baby’s skin and wait 24 hours before using widely. Avoid putting it on broken or very red skin. Don’t let your baby lick or eat the product.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any redness, swelling, rash, or other signs of irritation after use and stop use if these appear. The main warning comes from ingredient review data that flags contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); some safety certification programs restrict use of this extract unless the manufacturer provides contaminant testing. Environment Canada’s review indicates the ingredient itself is not expected to be systemically toxic, but the contamination issue is the main reason to choose products that test for impurities.
