0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0–6 months): not recommended. This plant root extract is generally low risk for adults, but there isn’t enough safety information for newborn skin, which is thinner and more sensitive.
Do not put products that list Scutellaria baicalensis on babies under 6 months. For older babies, ask your pediatrician first. If a product must be used, test a tiny amount on a small area of skin on older infants first, wait 24–48 hours, and watch for any reaction.
Avoid using on infants under 6 months and keep away from eyes and mouth. Watch for redness, rash, swelling, or fussiness after contact. The caution comes from product-verification restrictions that require extra safety proof and from a cosmetic industry review that recommends limits on how this ingredient is used.
