0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0–6 months), this plant bud extract appears to have low overall hazards in adults, but there is limited safety data for newborns and babies. Because it can help other substances get through the skin, and baby skin is thinner and more absorbent, I recommend being cautious.
Avoid products that list this extract for routine use on newborns and babies under 6 months unless a pediatrician advises otherwise. If you do use a product with it, use a very small amount on a single small area (forearm or leg) first and watch for 24–48 hours. Don’t put it on broken or red skin. Prefer simpler formulations with fewer ingredients for infants.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or fussiness after applying — these are signs of irritation or allergy. The caution comes from regulatory notes that report limited evidence of irritation and that the ingredient can increase skin absorption (European Chemicals Agency). If you see any reaction, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
