0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
This plant root extract is generally considered low-risk in ingredient lists, but there isn’t much information about using it on newborns. Babies under 6 months have very sensitive skin, so we should be careful.
Prefer products made and labeled for infants and that do not list this extract. If you find a product with this ingredient and you must use it, avoid putting it on large areas of a baby’s skin. Do a small spot check: apply a tiny amount to a small area and watch the baby for 24–48 hours. Stop use right away if you see any redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or if the baby becomes unusually fussy. When in doubt, choose a simpler, fragrance-free baby formula recommended for newborns.
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or increased fussiness after any contact — these are signs of irritation or an allergic reaction. This caution comes from public safety assessments and ingredient reports that note limited infant-specific data and the general potential for botanical extracts to cause skin reactions.
