Can older babies use Tribehenin?
ℹ️General Overview
Tribehenin is a skin-softening oil. For babies 6–12 months old it is generally low risk and unlikely to cause cancer or long-term harm when used in normal baby skin products.
✅What to Do
Choose products made for babies or labeled for sensitive skin that contain Tribehenin at normal concentrations. Apply to small areas first if you’re trying a new product. Do not use it on open cuts or raw skin. If your baby’s skin becomes red, itchy, swollen, or develops a rash, stop use and talk to your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Some safety reviews from an industry safety panel note Tribehenin can increase the skin’s absorption of other ingredients — this means it’s best used in properly formulated baby products and not combined with strong active ingredients. There are also noted gaps in safety testing and some product verification programs restrict its use without further proof.
