0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
Plum seed oil is likely safe for babies 0–6 months when used in small amounts on normal, unbroken skin. Overall concerns listed for this ingredient are low, but there is limited safety information and some product programs ask manufacturers to prove safety first.
If you want to use a product with plum seed oil on your infant: choose a simple, fragrance-free baby product; put a very small amount on the inside of the forearm or lower leg and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation; if there is no reaction you can use a small amount on dry areas. Keep it away from the face and eyes. If your baby is under 2 months, premature, or has eczema, ask your pediatrician before trying new oils.
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, hives, blisters, or breathing changes after applying the oil. Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin. If your baby has a known allergy to stone fruits (plums, peaches, cherries) or a family history of severe allergies, avoid this oil. Note: an industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) points out data gaps about safe concentration and impurities, and a product-verification program restricts this ingredient in verified products unless manufacturers supply safety documentation — this is why extra caution is advised.
