Can older babies use Sucrose?

✅

YES - Generally Safe

Danger Score: 1 (Lower is safer)

Quick Answer: Sucrose is generally considered safe for 6-12 month old babies when used in topical products. Monitor for any reactions in older babies.

ℹ️General Overview

Sucrose (a sugar) is low risk for babies 6–12 months old when used on the skin. It’s often used to help skin hold moisture and condition the skin.

✅What to Do

Use products made for babies that list sucrose on the label. Do a small patch test on a thigh or inner arm before regular use. Avoid putting products with sucrose directly on open cuts, rashes, or infected skin. Keep products away from the baby’s mouth and wipe away any sticky residue after use to help protect new teeth.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for any redness, swelling, itching, or worsening skin after use — stop and rinse if this happens. Reviews from Environment Canada classify sucrose as not expected to be toxic, and industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) recommend attention to manufacturing, concentration, and impurities. Some product verification programs restrict use of ingredients unless the manufacturer provides adequate safety information; choose reputable baby brands and check labels.
