⚠️Warnings
Safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) say it’s safe with some use limits, but the European Chemicals Agency notes limited evidence of eye irritation. Because of that, avoid getting products with this ingredient in your baby’s eyes, don’t use concentrated forms directly on skin, and watch for any signs of irritation. Also be aware that some product certification programs restrict use of ingredients unless manufacturers provide documentation.
