0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this ingredient is generally low risk in adult data, but babies’ skin is extra sensitive. It’s unlikely to cause serious harm, but there is a small chance of irritation or an allergic reaction because it is a plant protein.
Prefer products made for newborns that list fewer active ingredients. If a product with hydrolyzed quinoa protein must be used, apply only a very small amount to a tiny area (for example, the forearm) and watch the skin for 24–48 hours for any redness, bumps, or swelling. Stop use right away if you see any reaction. Avoid putting new products with this ingredient on the face or diaper area of babies under 6 months. If your baby has eczema, known seed or quinoa allergies, or very sensitive skin, avoid this ingredient and check with your pediatrician before use.
Published animal studies cited for this ingredient report some changes at high doses (circulatory and metabolic effects) and minor biochemical changes; these findings are from peer-reviewed literature and were seen at doses much higher than what is used in cosmetics. Also note ingredient records list low-level concerns for allergies and immune effects. Watch for redness, swelling, hives, or unusual fussiness after topical use and contact your pediatrician if you see them. Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin.
