0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies 0-6 months: avoid using Panax Ginseng Root Extract on their skin when you can. Overall safety listings show low concerns for adults, but there isn’t much testing in very young babies, who have extra-sensitive skin.
Prefer products labeled for infants/newborns. If a product for babies contains this extract and your pediatrician approves, first put a tiny amount on a small patch of skin (forearm) and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or swelling. Don’t use on broken skin or near the eyes or mouth. If you see any reaction, stop and call your pediatrician.
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or difficulty breathing. Stop use immediately and seek medical help for any severe reaction. These cautions come from widely used cosmetic ingredient safety listings that show low general concerns but note limited testing in infants.
