0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: papaya fruit extract is generally considered low risk in safety reviews, but there is limited testing in infants. Because baby skin is delicate, we should be cautious.
Prefer products made for babies that list simple, well-studied ingredients. Avoid placing products with papaya fruit extract directly on an infant’s face or broken skin. If you must use a product that contains it, use a very small amount on healthy skin away from the face and diaper area, watch closely for any change, and stop if you see irritation. When in doubt, choose a plain baby moisturizer or consult your pediatrician.
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, tiny bumps, or any sign the baby seems uncomfortable after using a product with this extract. Stop use right away if you see these signs and call your pediatrician. Some safety reviewers and product-certification programs note restrictions or ask for extra safety data (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Avoid using products with this ingredient on broken or inflamed skin.
