✅What to Do

If you see any redness, swelling, or a rash, stop use and wash the area. Contact your pediatrician if the reaction is severe or spreads.

Watch for mild irritation or an allergic skin reaction (redness, itchiness, bumps). These warnings come from general safety reviews and regulatory listings (for example, the FDA notes it is allowed for limited uses). Also remember that a reaction could come from another ingredient in the product, not just this one. If your baby has a known sensitive skin condition, check with your pediatrician before trying new products.
