ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants, older babies), Xylityl Caprylate is likely safe when used on normal, unbroken skin in typical baby lotions and wipes. Overall safety signals for cancer, allergy and developmental harm are very low.
✅What to Do
Before using a new product with this ingredient, put a small amount on a tiny patch of your baby's forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use the product as directed, avoid the eye and mouth area, and do not apply to cuts or broken skin. Prefer simple, fragrance-free formulations and use sparingly. If your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, ask your pediatrician before use.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see persistent redness, swelling, blisters, a spreading rash, or any breathing difficulty after using a product. This advice follows general safety guidance and regulatory notes (for example, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s designation of limited safe uses). Remember that reactions are more often caused by other ingredients (fragrance, preservatives) in the product rather than this ingredient alone. Keep all products out of reach to prevent accidental ingestion.
