Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Carrot Root Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
Carrot root extract is usually low risk for adults, but for infants (0-6 months) their skin is very sensitive. It can sometimes cause mild skin irritation or allergy, so extra caution is needed.
✅What to Do
Use only products made for babies or newborns. Do not apply concentrated extract directly to your baby’s skin. Before using a new product, test a tiny amount on a small area of the baby’s thigh and wait 24–48 hours to watch for any reaction. Avoid the face, eyes, mouth and broken skin. If the product is a rinse-off (like a baby shampoo) and is formulated for infants, it is less likely to cause problems than a leave-on concentrated extract.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, bumps, swelling, blistering, or fussiness after application. Stop use and wash the area, and contact your pediatrician if you see any of these signs. This caution is based on limited reports of skin allergy or irritation noted by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Also remember that many pediatricians recommend keeping skincare minimal for newborns whenever possible.
