0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies under 6 months, clary sage extract can sometimes cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction. Overall toxicity concerns are low, but very young babies have extra-sensitive skin and airways, so it's best to be careful.
Avoid using products that list clary sage extract on babies under 6 months whenever possible. If a product meant for infants contains it, use only as directed, on a very small area first (patch test) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Keep any scented products away from your baby’s face and airway. If you see redness, rash, swelling, or any breathing difficulty, stop use and contact your pediatrician right away.
A European chemicals authority has noted limited evidence of skin allergy or irritation from this extract, and some product-safety guidance treats it as restricted in finished products unless justified. Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or any breathing changes after exposure, and avoid deliberate use on infants under 6 months.
