0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants and newborns (0-6 months), this cotton seed extract is generally considered low-risk in adults, but there is limited testing in very young babies. Because baby skin is delicate, we recommend being cautious.
If you want to use a product that lists this ingredient on a baby under 6 months: choose products labeled for newborns when possible, use the simplest formulation you can find, and try to use it only on small areas. If you decide to try it, put a tiny amount on a small patch of the baby’s upper thigh or inner forearm and watch the area for 48 hours for any redness, swelling, or rash before using more widely.
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, hives, itching, or any breathing changes. The available safety data notes low-level allergy concern for the ingredient but limited infant-specific testing, so pay attention to any skin reactions in babies. Avoid using new products on newborns with eczema or broken skin and avoid applying to the face or diaper area until you’re sure there’s no reaction.
