For babies aged 6–12 months, this is a mild ingredient used to help clean or mix oils and water in baby products. It is usually safe in baby lotions, wipes, and shampoos when those products are made for infants.
Pick products labeled for babies or sensitive skin. If you’re unsure, do a small patch test on your baby’s inner forearm or behind the knee and wait 24 hours. Use rinse-off products (like baby shampoo) when possible and keep leave-on products light. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, bumps, or irritation. If a reaction is strong or doesn’t go away, contact your pediatrician.
The supplied safety record notes manufacturer guidance and limits on concentration and purity from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review; some certification programs may restrict its use unless manufacturers provide safety data. Watch for signs of allergy or irritation (redness, swelling, hives, persistent rash). Avoid applying on broken, raw, or very irritated skin, and avoid products with many strong detergents or strong smells. If the product causes eye stinging or a strong reaction, discontinue use and rinse thoroughly.
