0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0–6 months): The ingredient’s safety record shows low concerns overall, but there is little data specifically for newborns and babies. Because it can contain natural salicylates and baby skin is very thin and sensitive, we recommend being cautious.
Avoid putting products that list Meadowsweet Leaf Extract on babies under 6 months whenever possible. If a healthcare provider recommends it, use only a tiny amount on a small patch of intact skin, keep it away from the face, mouth and diaper area, do not use on cuts or irritated skin, and watch closely for any change. For older babies (over 6 months) try a small patch test first and wait 48 hours to check for redness or irritation. Always check with your pediatrician before using new topical products on infants.
Stop use and contact your child's healthcare provider if you see a rash, swelling, breathing changes, persistent redness, or any unusual behavior after applying a product. The ingredient’s safety record notes low general concerns but also limited infant-specific data and potential plant salicylate content — that is the reason for extra caution with newborns and young babies.
