Can older babies use Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in small amounts in products made for babies. It is used to calm and soothe skin.
✅What to Do
Choose products made for infants that list the full ingredient panel. Use sparingly and avoid putting it on broken or very irritated skin. Before regular use, do a small patch test on a tiny area of your baby’s arm or leg and watch for 24–48 hours. Keep products away from your baby’s eyes and mouth. If your baby has eczema, very sensitive skin, or was born early, check with your pediatrician before use.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, increased fussiness, or other signs of an allergic reaction. Note that the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) — an industry safety panel — recommends limits on concentration and controlling impurities; those recommendations exist because full infant-specific safety data are limited. Also, some product-verification programs require manufacturers to provide safety data for this ingredient before approving products, so prefer brands that are transparent about safety testing.
