0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0–6 months): this plant seed extract is probably low risk when used in small amounts on normal, unbroken skin. But there isn’t much research done specifically in very young babies, so extra caution is recommended.
If you use a product that contains this ingredient on your baby: choose products made for babies, use only a small amount on a small area first, avoid broken or inflamed skin, and don’t put it near the eyes, nose, or mouth. If possible, avoid introducing new products with plant extracts in the first few weeks after birth. If your baby develops redness, swelling, rash, or unusual fussiness after use, stop and talk to your pediatrician.
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, hives, or breathing trouble — stop use immediately and seek medical help if severe. The caution comes from a major cosmetic ingredient safety review that shows overall low concerns but notes very limited testing in infants, so we cannot rule out rare allergic reactions.
