Question
Can newborns wear clothes containing fluorescent agents?
Answer
Fluorescent agents, also known as optical brighteners, are a type of fluorescent dye or white dye, and they are also complex organic compounds. Their characteristic is to absorb incident light and produce fluorescence, giving the dyed material a sparkling, luminescent effect that makes it appear very white, achieving the effect of whitening. However, since there is no general monitoring data available, it is recommended that you avoid wearing clothes with fluorescent agents if possible. Newborns have thin skin, and the fluorescent agents may cause irritation or allergic reactions.
