6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months (infants), this ingredient is usually low risk when used on the skin in normal baby products. It’s a film-former used to help products stay on the skin.
Use products made for babies and follow label directions. Before using widely, put a tiny amount on a small area (patch test) and wait 24 hours to watch for irritation. Avoid putting it on broken, very red, or inflamed skin and keep it away from eyes and mouth. If you prefer extra caution, choose products where the maker shares safety testing or choose a baby-specific formula.
Watch for signs of irritation: redness, rash, swelling, or fussiness after application—if these happen, stop use and talk with your pediatrician. Government review (Environment Canada) found no expected harm, but industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note that some uses may have restrictions if manufacturers don’t provide safety data. Some product verification programs also restrict its use unless the maker supplies adequate safety information—if you see such a restriction, ask the manufacturer or pick a different product.
