0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): banana fruit extract is usually safe when used on the skin. It is a plant-based ingredient with a very low level of concern in safety data, but babies have very delicate skin so small risks of irritation or a rare allergy exist.
If you plan to use a product that contains banana fruit extract on an infant, choose products made for babies, patch test first on a small area (inner forearm or chest), wait 24–48 hours to watch for redness or rash, avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin, and use a small amount. If your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before trying a new product.
Stop using the product and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, bumps, blisters, increased fussiness, or breathing changes after applying — these can be signs of an allergic reaction. The ingredient safety information provided flags only rare allergy/irritation as a concern, so watch for those local skin reactions. Keep all products out of reach of children and avoid getting them in the eyes or mouth.
