6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months (infants), this ingredient is best treated with caution. It can irritate skin, eyes, or breathing and there is limited safety data for this age. Other major risks like cancer or developmental harm look low in the available information, but irritation is the main concern.
Try to avoid products that list this ingredient for your 6–12 month old when possible. If you must use a product that contains it, choose one made for babies, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours, avoid applying near the eyes or on broken or very red skin, use the smallest amount needed, and stop use immediately if you see any redness, rash, swelling, or if the baby seems to have trouble breathing.
This ingredient is labeled as an irritant under EU hazard labeling guidance and industry reviews note restrictions on concentrations and product types (source: EU GHS Hazard Labeling Codes; Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes on restricted use). Watch for any signs of skin irritation, eye irritation, or breathing trouble. If you see these signs, rinse the area, stop use, and call your pediatrician or emergency services if symptoms are severe.
