Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Galbanum Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
Records for this oil show very low hazard, but because it is an essential oil and babies under 6 months have very sensitive skin and airways, we treat it with extra caution. For newborns and infants, avoid putting this oil directly on the skin.
✅What to Do
Do not apply undiluted Galbanum/Ferula oil to an infant's skin. Prefer products specifically made and tested for babies. If the oil appears in a baby product in very small amounts as part of a formulated product, risk is likely low, but still avoid applying to cracked or irritated skin. If accidental small exposure occurs (e.g., a brief contact), monitor the baby for redness, rash, unusual fussiness, coughing or breathing changes and call your pediatrician if any symptoms appear.
⚠️Warnings
Ingredient safety listings note low concerns for cancer, allergies, developmental or reproductive effects, but because this is an essential oil parents should avoid direct use on infants. Avoid undiluted application, keep the product away from the baby's face, nose and mouth, and stop use and seek medical advice if you see skin redness, rash, swelling, wheezing, persistent coughing or difficulty breathing. The low concern ratings in safety listings mean the chemical hazards are low, but they do not remove the need for caution with newborns and very young babies.
