Can older babies use Sodium Methyl Stearoyl Taurate?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants, older babies), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in gentle, well-formulated baby products. The main concern is mild skin or eye irritation in sensitive individuals.
✅What to Do
Choose products made for babies or labeled for sensitive skin. If trying a new product, do a small patch test on a tiny area (inside forearm or behind the ear) and wait 24 hours to watch for redness or rash. Prefer products that are rinse-off for very small babies or newborns, and for leave-on creams pick ones clearly meant for infants. Stop use and gently wash the area if you see any irritation. If your baby has a history of eczema or very reactive skin, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
