0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months): this evening primrose flower extract is generally considered low concern in safety listings, but there is little direct information for very young babies. Because babies this young have very sensitive skin, we recommend caution.
Best choice: avoid products with this extract for babies under 6 months when possible. If a product containing it is suggested by your baby’s healthcare provider or you must use it, apply only a very small amount to a tiny area of clean skin away from the face (for example, a small patch on the forearm) and watch for 24–48 hours for any reaction. Use products that are unscented and formulated for sensitive skin, and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin.
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, oozing, or if the baby becomes unusually fussy or has breathing trouble after application. This advice is based on the provided ingredient safety listing, which notes low allergy concerns but limited infant-specific data — so the main watchpoint is allergic or contact skin reaction.
