Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Oryzanol?
ℹ️General Overview
For newborns and babies under 6 months, oryzanol is considered low risk when used on the skin. It’s a gentle, plant-based ingredient. Because very young babies have delicate skin, we still recommend being careful and using as little product as possible.
✅What to Do
If you must use a product that contains oryzanol on an infant under 6 months: use a very small amount on a small area first, avoid the face (especially eyes and mouth), do not put it on broken or irritated skin, and prefer protective clothing and shade over routine skincare products. If the product is a sunscreen, follow pediatric guidance (many doctors recommend avoiding sunscreen on babies under 6 months and using shade and clothing instead). Ask your pediatrician before using new topical products.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or unusual fussiness after application — stop use and contact your pediatrician if these occur. Do not apply to open cuts or raw skin. Note: Environment Canada has noted some uncertainty about environmental toxicity for this chemical; that is a non-skin, environmental concern and does not mean the ingredient is unsafe on a baby’s skin, but it may affect product disposal and wider environmental impact.
