0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0–6 months): Papaya fruit extract is generally considered low risk in safety listings, but it can contain natural enzymes that may irritate or cause an allergic reaction. Baby skin is very delicate, so we recommend extra caution.
If you see this ingredient on a baby product: choose products made and tested for infants; do not apply to broken skin or areas with eczema; avoid routine use on a newborn’s face; if you decide to try it, use a very small amount on a small patch of healthy skin and watch for 24–48 hours; stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, blistering, or any trouble breathing.
Avoid products with papaya extract for newborns unless the product is specifically formulated and tested for babies. Watch for skin irritation, rashes, hives, swelling, or breathing problems. These cautions come from product-verification restrictions and industry safety guidance (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
