0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies (0-6 months) this oat kernel extract is generally safe and is often used to calm dry or irritated skin. Overall risk is low, but very young babies can be extra sensitive and rare allergic reactions are possible.
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on your baby: pick formulations made for babies, test a tiny amount on a small area (forearm or thigh) and wait 24–48 hours, avoid using on open wounds or very inflamed skin, use a small amount and not more often than needed. If your baby has known oat allergy or a history of food-related allergies, skip it or check with your pediatrician first.
Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, hives, increased fussiness, or breathing changes after use. Safety reviews note that allergy potential hasn’t been fully ruled out and that some safety programs limit use unless product safety is documented (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review-style safety assessments). Avoid products that do not list all ingredients, and do not apply to broken skin or severe eczema without medical advice.
