6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies aged 6–12 months (older infants, babies who are crawling or toddling), sclerotium gum is generally very low risk when it’s in baby lotions, wipes or creams. It’s used to make products feel smooth and stay mixed, and it doesn’t tend to get into the skin.
Use products made for babies and follow the product directions. When trying a new product with sclerotium gum, put a small amount on a patch of skin (inside forearm or behind the knee) and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or rash. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin and keep products away from the baby’s eyes and mouth. If any redness, swelling, or rash appears, stop use and rinse the area, and talk to your pediatrician.
There are no major safety flags, but industry reviews note recommendations for how it should be used in formulations. Some product verification programs may ask for extra proof before allowing this ingredient. Watch for signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, itching, rash). If the baby has a known skin sensitivity or a history of allergies, be especially cautious and consult your pediatrician before regular use.
