6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6–12 month old baby, shea butter ethyl esters are generally low risk. Reviews from safety assessments and government sources find very low concerns for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth. When used in products made for babies, it is usually safe and gentle.
Choose products made for infants or labelled for sensitive skin. Use a small amount on a small patch of skin first to check for redness or irritation. Apply to clean, unbroken skin and avoid the face and eyes until you know how your baby’s skin reacts. If you are unsure, pick fragrance-free baby moisturizers that list this ingredient among familiar emollients.
Some safety reviews note limited data and that safety conclusions assume manufacturers follow concentration limits set by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review and similar bodies; avoid homemade mixes or products of unknown quality. Government sources classify it as not expected to be toxic, but still stop use and call your pediatrician if you see persistent redness, swelling, rash, or signs of an allergic reaction. Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin and keep products out of reach of children.
