0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies 0-6 months, chamomile extract is usually gentle and used to soothe skin. Most babies tolerate it well, but a small number can get skin reactions and the scientific data is limited.
If you plan to use a product with this extract on an infant: use products made for babies, try a tiny patch on the inner forearm first and wait 24 hours to check for redness or bumps, avoid using it on cuts or sore skin, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, use sparingly, and stop use right away if you see any irritation. If your baby has a history of eczema or strong allergies, consult your pediatrician before use.
Watch for redness, swelling, hives, or any new rash after using a product with chamomile extract — stop use and call your child’s doctor if these occur. Safety reviewers have noted limited data and a few human case reports that raised unclear concerns about nervous-system effects and pregnancy-related outcomes (sources: Cosmetic Ingredient Review summaries, European Chemicals Agency notes, and some published human case reports/systematic reviews). Also, some product verification programs may require extra proof before allowing this ingredient in certified baby products, so check labels if you prefer certified items.
