Check for Different Age (6 available)
Can older babies use Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies aged 6–12 months, this ingredient is generally safe. It’s a gentle helper that keeps oil and water mixed in creams and cleansers. Major safety reviews list very low concerns for long-term health harms, but there is a small chance it can irritate sensitive skin or eyes.
✅What to Do
Use products made for babies that list this ingredient rather than concentrated lab chemicals. Do a small patch test first: apply a tiny amount to a small area on your baby’s inner forearm or the thigh and wait 24 hours. If no redness or swelling appears, using the product as directed is fine. Avoid putting products near the eyes and do not use on broken, chapped, or inflamed skin. If the product is a rinse-off (bath/shampoo), it’s lower risk than a leave-on product.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any redness, stinging, swelling, flaking, or increased fussiness after applying a product with this ingredient. Safety reviews from cosmetic safety panels note possible skin or eye irritation and recommend using it only within set concentration or product-type limits; stop use and speak with your child’s pediatrician if irritation occurs. Also be aware that some product-certification programs require manufacturers to provide safety data before using this ingredient in certified baby products.
