0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0–6 months), avoid putting Arnica Montana Flower Extract on their skin. It can cause allergic skin reactions and newborn skin is very sensitive.
Do not use products that list Arnica Montana Flower Extract on babies younger than 6 months. If a caregiver or doctor suggests it for a specific reason, check with your pediatrician first. If the ingredient is applied by accident, wash the area gently with water and stop use. Seek medical advice if the skin becomes red, swollen, itchy, or develops a rash.
A scientific review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) has found strong evidence that this ingredient can cause allergic skin reactions in people. Because of that allergy risk and gaps in safety data, avoid using it on infants and do not apply it to broken or irritated skin. If you see any signs of irritation, stop use and contact your child’s healthcare provider.
