0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
Avena Sativa Kernel Oil (oat kernel oil) is a gentle plant oil used to soften and moisturize newborn and baby skin. For most infants it is low risk, but a very small number of babies can have skin reactions.
For babies (newborns, infants 0–6 months): use a very small amount, first try a patch test on the inside of the baby’s arm or leg and wait 24 hours. Avoid putting it on broken skin or very near the eyes or mouth. If your baby has known oat allergy, severe eczema, or very sensitive skin, don’t use it without checking with your pediatrician.
Watch for any redness, swelling, rash, blisters, or breathing trouble and stop use immediately if these occur and seek medical help. Note: industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) have pointed out some gaps in data and recommend that manufacturers control concentrations or impurities, so prefer products from reputable brands and look for clear safety information from the maker.
