Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Banana Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
Banana extract is generally considered low risk for harmful long‑term effects, but data is limited for newborns and young babies. For infants (0–6 months) we recommend being cautious because their skin is very delicate.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that lists banana extract on an infant: use it sparingly, only on small areas of intact skin, and avoid the face (especially around eyes, nose and mouth) and the diaper area. Don’t use on broken, red, or inflamed skin. Prefer products made for babies and, if possible, test a small area on the arm of an older infant first. If you are unsure, ask your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
The public ingredient safety summary notes low concern for allergies, cancer, and reproductive harm, but also shows limited infant‑specific testing. Because of that, watch closely for any signs of a reaction: new redness, rash, swelling, blistering, or fussiness after application. Stop use immediately if you see these signs and contact your pediatrician. Avoid using this ingredient on newborns with known food or latex banana allergies. Do not apply to wounds or irritated skin.
