0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants and newborns (0–6 months), white beeswax is generally considered safe when used in small amounts as part of a simple skin product. Serious problems are uncommon, but a few babies can have an allergic reaction because beeswax comes from bees.
If you plan to use a product containing beeswax on your baby: choose a product with few other ingredients, test a tiny amount on a small patch of skin (for example on the leg) and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or a rash, avoid applying near the mouth, nose or eyes, do not put it on broken or irritated skin, and talk with your pediatrician before first use if your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction such as redness, swelling, hives or increased fussiness after application. If this happens, stop use and contact your pediatrician right away. Also avoid if there is a known family allergy to bee products. These precautions come from the ingredient’s safety listings and general pediatric guidance on topical products for infants.
