Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Matricaria Recutita Flower Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): chamomile flower extract is usually low risk but babies have very sensitive skin, so it can sometimes cause irritation or an allergic reaction.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on your baby: choose products made for infants, do a small patch test on a tiny area (inner thigh or forearm) and wait 24–48 hours, use only on intact (not broken) skin, start with a tiny amount, and stop if you see redness, rash, swelling, or your baby seems uncomfortable.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of skin allergy (redness, itching, raised rash) — limited evidence of dermal allergy is noted by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Safety reviewers say the ingredient is allowed with some limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). A 2016 review and a 2010 pregnancy study reported unclear findings about nervous-system or pregnancy effects — if your baby has a known plant/pollen allergy, or you are breastfeeding and worried, check with your pediatrician before use.
