0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants and newborns (0–6 months), Lactobacillus ferment is generally considered low risk when used in small amounts in baby-formulated skin products. It’s a probiotic ingredient and the safety data supplied shows low concern for serious long-term harms.
If you want to try a product that contains this ingredient on your baby: 1) choose products labeled for infants or sensitive skin; 2) do a small patch test on the inner forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours; 3) avoid putting it on broken skin, near the eyes, or inside the mouth; 4) use sparingly at first and watch the area for any change; 5) if your baby is premature, has immune problems, or known severe skin conditions, check with your pediatrician before using.
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, or a new rash—those are signs to stop use. The safety information provided with this ingredient flags low concern for allergy and other long-term harms, but because infant skin is delicate and there are limited infant-specific studies, be cautious. If you see any worrying reaction or if your baby becomes unwell after use, contact your pediatrician right away.
