ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and infants (0-6 months) Boswellia Serrata is generally low risk according to the provided ingredient safety information, but there is limited data specifically in babies. Because infants have very delicate skin, we recommend being cautious.
✅What to Do
If you choose to use a product that contains this ingredient on a baby: do a small patch test first (apply a pea-sized amount to the inner thigh or forearm and wait 24–48 hours). Use only a small amount, on intact (not broken) skin, and avoid the face and eye area. Start with a single short application and watch for any change. If your baby is under 3 months old, or was born prematurely, check with your pediatrician before use.

The provided ingredient safety data notes only low concerns for cancer, allergy, and developmental effects — these are not highlighted risks. Still, watch for skin reactions: redness, rash, swelling, increased fussiness, or breathing changes. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, do not use near the eyes or mouth, and stop use immediately if you see any reaction and contact your child’s healthcare provider. If you are unsure, consult your pediatrician before applying products with this ingredient.
