For newborns and babies (0-6 months), malic acid can irritate the skin and is best avoided. It can sting, cause redness, or make skin more sensitive.

For infants (0–6 months): avoid products that contain C15-19 Alkane. While overall health concerns like cancer and allergies are reported as low, this ingredient is on a regulatory list that restricts its use in cosmetics, so its safety for newborn skin is not established.

Not evaluated

Caprylic Hydroxamic Acid is a preservative with limited safety data for infants under 6 months use with caution due to immature skin barrier

For infants (0-6 months), there is very little safety information. Most studies mark this ingredient as low concern for things like cancer or allergies, but some government and scientific bodies have noted possible effects on hormone systems and some limited irritation to skin or eyes. Because newborn skin is delicate and absorbs more, extra caution is wise.

For infants and newborns (0–6 months), this ingredient is probably low risk in the tiny amounts usually used in products, but we are extra careful with babies. Some studies and regulators note it can cause skin, eye, or lung irritation at higher levels. Some product programs ask for extra safety proof before allowing it in baby‑label products.

For newborns and babies (0-6 months) propanediol is not usually thought to be highly toxic, but it can make skin absorb other things more and has been linked to skin irritation in some studies. Because babies’ skin is very delicate, I recommend being cautious.
