Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Punica Granatum Sterols?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (newborns and babies 0–6 months), pomegranate sterols used on the skin appear low risk in general but there is little direct testing in this age group. Because infant skin is very sensitive, we treat new ingredients with extra caution.
✅What to Do
If you don’t need it, avoid products with new botanical extracts on newborn skin. If you do use a product that contains pomegranate sterols: choose a product meant for babies, apply a very small amount to a tiny patch of skin (inner forearm or behind the knee) and wait 24–48 hours to check for any redness, swelling, or rash. Use only on intact (not broken) skin and avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or diaper area. If irritation occurs, stop use and rinse with water. Prefer unscented, simple baby products for daily care.
⚠️Warnings
Although overall concerns are low, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) notes there are recommendations and limits for safe use of ingredients like this. Plant extracts can rarely cause allergic skin reactions—watch for redness, rash, swelling, or fussiness after application. If your baby has eczema, a history of skin allergies, or very sensitive skin, avoid products with unnecessary botanical extracts unless a pediatrician says otherwise. If any reaction happens, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
