0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
Broccoli extract used on the skin appears to be low risk, but because newborn and young baby skin is very sensitive, we recommend being careful. The available safety listings show low concern, but data specifically in infants is limited.
If you want to use a product that contains broccoli extract on an infant (newborn, baby 0–6 months): - Prefer products made and labeled for babies or specifically for newborn skin. - Avoid applying concentrated botanical extracts directly to a baby’s skin. Use only formulated products. - Do a small patch test first: apply a tiny amount to a small area on the baby’s forearm or upper thigh and wait 24–48 hours. Stop use if any redness, swelling, or rash appears. - Do not use on broken, irritated, or very red skin. - Keep away from the baby’s eyes, nose, and mouth. - If you see any sign of an allergic reaction (hives, widespread rash, swelling, breathing trouble), stop use and seek medical care right away. - When in doubt, check with your baby’s pediatrician before introducing a new topical product.
The ingredient database used for this evaluation notes only low-level concerns overall, but because infant skin is more delicate we recommend extra caution. Watch for redness, bumps, itching, swelling, or any breathing changes after use. Avoid concentrated extracts and do not apply to damaged skin. If you see a reaction, stop use and contact your pediatrician or seek medical attention.
