0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0-6 months), olive leaf extract is generally low risk and is used for its antioxidant and calming properties. But babies' skin is very delicate, and there isn’t a lot of specific data for newborns, so we recommend being cautious.
If you want to use a product containing this extract on a baby or newborn, pick a simple product with few ingredients. Do a small patch test on a thigh or forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or rash. Use only a tiny amount the first few times and avoid the face, eyes, mouth, and any broken or irritated skin. If your baby has eczema or known plant allergies, check with your pediatrician before using.
Although the ingredient safety listing shows low concerns overall, parents should watch for signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, swelling, rash, fussiness when touched). Do not use on broken skin or near the eyes and mouth. If any reaction appears, stop use and contact your pediatrician. The caution comes from the ingredient safety listing we reviewed that notes low general concerns but limited infant-specific data.
