Can older babies use Triisostearin?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old, triisostearin is usually safe when used in products made for infants. It’s an ingredient that helps skin feel soft and smooth and rarely causes irritation on its own.
✅What to Do
Choose lotions or creams made and labeled for babies. Before using a new product, test a small amount on a tiny patch of your baby’s skin (inner arm or thigh) and wait 24–48 hours. Don’t use products with this ingredient together with strong active ingredients (for example prescription skin medicines, strong essential oils, or peeling acids). Avoid applying it to any cuts, open sores, or very red, inflamed skin. Stop use and talk to your child’s healthcare provider if you see a rash, swelling, or other signs of irritation.
⚠️Warnings
Industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) note that triisostearin can act as a penetration enhancer and that there are gaps in the data and recommendations on safe concentrations and product types. Because of that, be cautious when the product also contains potent active ingredients or when the product is intended for use over large areas or on broken skin. Also be aware that some product-certifying programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide adequate safety data.
