0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants and newborns (0-6 months): very low risk. Sunflower seed wax is a plant-based wax commonly used to moisturize and thicken baby creams and balms and is generally safe on baby skin when used normally.
If you use a product containing this ingredient on your baby, do a small patch test first (apply a little on the baby’s forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours). Use the product sparingly, avoid applying to broken or red skin, and keep it away from the baby’s eyes and mouth. If your baby has eczema, very sensitive skin, or other concerns, check the full product ingredient list and ask your pediatrician before use.
Watch for signs of irritation such as redness, rash, swelling or small bumps — these can be signs of an allergic reaction (the ingredient listing notes a low allergy concern). Also note the ingredient database flags only low concerns for cancer and developmental/reproductive effects; this information is based on available ingredient data. If any reaction occurs, stop use and contact your child’s healthcare provider. For babies under 6 months, when in doubt consult your pediatrician before trying new skin products.
