Newmomma:
I don't see anything remotely toxic in this mix. Arbutin is just the natural source of hyidroquinone, which is the bleaching agent.
Wether arbutin is toxic in not known. But I think if its a small area, there's not much risk to a baby at 8 months postpartum.

Skin lighting cream
I’m currently breastfeeding and wondering if it’s safe to use a skin lightening cream. The particular cream I have does not have hydroquione in it. The ingredients are:
water
glycerin
ethyl alcohol
arbutin
niacinamide
kojic acid
mandelic acid
azelaic acid
glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) extract
morus Alba root (mulberry) extract
ß-white [butylene glycol
hydrognated lectun
sodium oleate
oligopeptide-68
disodium EDTA]
sodium hyaluronate
carbomer
dimethyl MEA
sodium hyaluronate
acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer
xanthum gum
fragrance
I will be using it on a small area and my baby is 8 months old if that makes any difference.Tags: None
