0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0-6 months) this oil is probably low risk but data is limited. Some authorities have flagged possible organ toxicity concerns and there are notes about possible irritation or immune effects. Because newborn skin is delicate, we recommend being cautious.
If you choose to use it on your newborn or baby: use only a very small amount, on a tiny patch of healthy skin (inner forearm or leg), not on broken skin. Wait 48 hours to watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or increased fussiness. Use it only for dry spots or under pediatrician advice, not as a daily full-body moisturizer. If you prefer to be more cautious, avoid it in the first 6 months.
Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see any redness, rash, swelling, fever, or breathing changes. Sources noting reasons for caution include Environment Canada (organ system toxicity classification), Cosmetic Ingredient Review (possible irritation and unclear immune effects), and the U.S. FDA (used in food but limited toxicity data). Avoid use near the eyes and mouth, and avoid use if your baby has a known plant or seed oil allergy or a family history of strong allergic reactions.
