0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
Apple fruit extract is usually low risk, but for newborns and babies under 6 months it can sometimes irritate very sensitive skin or eyes. Because baby skin is delicate and studies for this age are limited, we recommend being cautious.
If you need to use a product that lists apple extract: pick products made for babies or labeled for newborn skin, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours, avoid putting near the eyes or face, use sparingly, and stop if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or eye irritation. If your baby reacts, rinse the area with water and contact your pediatrician.
Watch for skin redness, itching, rash, swelling or eye irritation. Safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) have noted possible irritation and recommend limiting concentration or formulating to avoid irritation. A regulatory note from the European Chemicals Agency flagged a classification of 'toxic or harmful' in a specific assessment — this is limited but worth extra caution for infants. Also note some products may restrict use of this ingredient unless they provide safety evidence; prefer baby-specific, minimal-ingredient products.
