Can older babies use Sucralose?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants), sucralose on the skin is generally low risk. It is unlikely to be absorbed through healthy skin and rarely causes irritation.
✅What to Do
Use products that list sucralose only occasionally and on intact skin. If using wipes or a lotion that contains it, avoid letting the baby chew or swallow the product. Do a small patch test on a tiny area first. If you prefer extra caution, choose products without sucralose.
⚠️Warnings
There is a research note that sucralose can persist and build up in the environment (source: Organohalogen Pollutants and Human Health, 2017). Regulatory and industry reviews provide limits and guidance for safe use (sources: U.S. Food and Drug Administration; Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or unusual irritation and stop use immediately if they appear. Keep products out of reach to prevent accidental ingestion.
