0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): usually low risk when used a little on normal, unbroken skin, but there is a concern about contamination from pesticides in some samples. Because baby skin is delicate, we recommend being cautious.
If you choose to use a product with hydrolyzed beeswax on your baby: 1) Use a very small amount on a small area first (patch test) and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. 2) Avoid applying near the mouth, nose, eyes, or on hands that your baby can put in their mouth. 3) Prefer products that say they test for contaminants or come from reputable/organic sources. 4) Don’t use on broken, raw, or irritated skin. 5) If you are unsure, talk with your baby’s pediatrician before regular use.
The safety data provided flags contamination concerns — especially pesticides — as the main warning for this ingredient. Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or changes in behavior after application and stop use immediately if you see them. Avoid products of unknown origin or low-quality suppliers, and do not apply to open cuts or irritated skin. If contamination is a concern for you, consider avoiding the ingredient for newborns and young infants or choose products that explicitly test for contaminants.
