ℹ️General Overview
For babies aged 6 to 12 months, sorbitan tristearate is generally safe. It’s a mild ingredient used to help mix oil and water in lotions and creams and is considered low risk in usual baby products.
✅What to Do
Use creams or lotions that are made for babies and list ingredients clearly. Do a small patch test on one area of baby’s skin (for example, the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid applying to broken skin. If your baby has sensitive skin, choose plain, fragrance-free products and use only as needed.

Industry safety reviews note there are recommendations about safe concentrations and manufacturing quality (Cosmetic Ingredient Review), so prefer trusted baby brands that follow those guidelines. Environment Canada notes uncertain environmental effects — this is a general environmental note and not a direct risk to your baby, but it supports choosing responsibly made products.
