0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0–6 months), calendula flower extract is generally considered low risk and is often used to soothe skin. Because baby skin is very delicate, we are extra careful and treat it as a mild but not risk-free ingredient.
If you want to use it on your baby: pick a product made for babies, use only a small amount on a small patch of normal skin first, wait 24–48 hours to check for any reaction, avoid using on open or broken skin, and stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, or a rash.
Watch for signs of skin sensitivity (redness, itching, rash, swelling). An industry safety review has noted gaps in data and recommends limits on how much is used in products, and some product verification programs require safety documentation before manufacturers include this ingredient. If your baby has a history of eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before using.
