âšī¸General Overview
For a 6â12 month old baby, this ingredient is not flagged as a likely cancer-causing or development-harming chemical in available reviews, but some governments and expert panels limit how it can be used. That means it can be okay in some products and not allowed in others, so we should be careful.
â What to Do
If you are considering a product for a 6â12 month old baby: choose products made and labeled for babies, avoid products that list this ingredient on leave-on baby items (like moisturizers) unless the maker gives clear safety information, prefer rinse-off baby products (like shampoos) if possible, patch-test a small area of skin first, and stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, rashes, or other reactions.
â ī¸Warnings
Watch out for regulatory restrictions: some regions limit or restrict how this ingredient is used in cosmetics (for example under EU cosmetics rules) and reviewers note gaps in safety data and concentration limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review noted data gaps). These restrictions are the reason to avoid assuming every product containing this ingredient is safe for babies. Also watch for any skin irritation or allergic reaction â discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice if your baby develops persistent redness, rash, blisters, or swelling.
