Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract?
ā¹ļøGeneral Overview
For infants (0ā6 months): best to avoid. There is little safety information for newborn skin and a lab study shows the extract may act like a hormone, so we cannot assume it is safe for very young babies.
ā What to Do
Do not use creams, lotions or oils that list Schisandra chinensis fruit extract on babies under 6 months. If a product with this ingredient was used, stop using it, gently wash the area with water, and monitor the baby. If you must use a product on an older baby, do a small patch test on the forearm and wait 48 hours before applying more widely, and ask your pediatrician first.
ā ļøWarnings
Avoid applying this ingredient to broken skin or the diaper/genital area. Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or any change in feeding, sleeping, or behavior. The hormone-related concern comes from a laboratory study titled "Extracts from Schizandra chinensis fruit activate estrogen receptors" (2004), which is the basis for caution. Other reported concerns (allergy, cancer, developmental effects) are summarized as low.
