0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), this ingredient is generally low risk. It is a gentle oil-like ingredient from sunflower seed oil that helps keep skin soft. Major safety reviews find low concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or reproduction, but some safety reviewers note there is limited data and some product programs restrict its use without extra proof.
If you want to use a product that lists this ingredient on a baby (newborn, infant, baby 0-6 months): - Prefer products labeled for infants or newborns and made for sensitive skin. - Use a small amount the first time and watch the area for 24–48 hours. - Avoid applying to broken, red, or irritated skin. - Don’t use near the baby’s mouth or eyes. If your baby licks the area, stop use. - If your baby has a known seed or sunflower allergy, avoid it and ask your pediatrician. - Stop use and call your doctor if you see any redness, swelling, rash, or breathing changes.
Safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and related product-safety programs) note data gaps and sometimes recommend limits on how the ingredient is used in products; this is the reason for extra caution. Watch closely for signs of skin irritation, rash, swelling, or hives after first use. Also be aware that overall safety depends on the full product — other ingredients may increase risk. If your baby was born very early, has medical skin conditions, or you are unsure, check with your pediatrician before use.
