For infants (6-12 months), this ingredient is generally gentle. It’s a sugar-derived ingredient used to soften skin and help creams blend. Safety summaries list only low concerns, so it’s usually safe for baby skin when used on intact skin.
Use products that contain it as directed and in small amounts. Before spreading on larger areas, do a patch test on a small area (inside forearm or thigh) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or swelling. Don’t apply to open cuts, raw or very inflamed skin. Keep creams away from baby’s eyes and mouth. If your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, talk to your pediatrician before trying new products.
Public skin-ingredient summaries report only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and reproductive or developmental issues for this ingredient. Still, stop use and wash the area with water if you see any rash, redness, swelling, blisters, or unusual fussiness after application. If a reaction is severe or does not improve, contact your pediatrician. Keep all skincare products out of reach of children.
