Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Artemisia Vulgaris?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and babies (0–6 months): avoid putting Artemisia vulgaris oil or products that list it on a baby’s skin. While overall safety reviews find low concern for serious long-term harm, infant skin is very sensitive and there isn’t enough testing in this age group.
✅What to Do
Do not use products containing Artemisia vulgaris on babies under 6 months unless a pediatrician tells you it’s okay. Prefer products made and labeled specifically for infants. If a product with this ingredient must be used on an older child, ask a pediatrician first, do a small patch test on older child’s arm (not the face), and avoid the face, hands, and diaper area. If you see any redness, rash, swelling, or breathing changes, stop use and get medical help.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, itching or breathing trouble — stop use and seek care if these happen. A government assessment (Environment Canada) says the ingredient is not expected to be toxic, but some product verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless manufacturers provide supporting safety data, so manufacturers may avoid it in baby-safe lines.
