Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Chamomilla Recutita?
ℹ️General Overview
Chamomile oil is commonly used to soothe skin and is usually low risk for babies under 6 months. Some people can have an allergic skin reaction, and a few studies have raised questions about rare nervous-system effects. Because babies’ skin is delicate, we recommend extra caution.
✅What to Do
Use only baby-specific products that list chamomile in a mild form (not pure essential oil). Don’t put undiluted chamomile oil on your baby's skin. Do a small patch test on a tiny area (for example the forearm) and wait 24 hours for any reaction before wider use. Avoid application to broken skin, near the eyes, mouth, or nose. If your baby is very young, premature, has eczema, or has other health issues, check with your pediatrician before use.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, rash, or increased fussiness after applying a product with chamomile — these are signs of an allergic reaction (based on human case reports such as allergic contact dermatitis from Roman chamomile). There is limited evidence and reviews that raise possible concerns about nervous-system effects and pregnancy use (sources include human case studies and reviews by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the European Chemicals Agency, and systematic reviews). Also note some product-safety lists restrict use of this ingredient unless the maker provides safety data — avoid products that contain undiluted essential oil or do not state they are formulated for infants.
