Can older babies use Taurine?
ℹ️General Overview
Taurine is generally safe for topical use on babies aged 6–12 months when it’s in products made for infants. Regulators have found it to be low risk for cancer, allergies, and other long-term harms.
✅What to Do
Use only products formulated for babies or labeled as safe for infants. Before using a new product on your 6–12 month old, do a small patch test: apply a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm, wait 24 hours, and check for redness or irritation. Use a small amount, avoid applying to broken or sore skin, and follow product directions. If your baby has sensitive skin or a history of eczema, try one product at a time so you can spot reactions.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, blistering, or a rash. Seek medical care if your baby has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or lips, or a severe reaction. Regulatory sources (US FDA and Environment Canada) indicate low concern for this ingredient, but individual allergic reactions are still possible — watch your baby closely after first use.
