0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies 0–6 months: this plant root extract is generally considered low risk in safety listings, but there isn’t much data on how it affects very young babies. Because baby skin is delicate, I recommend being cautious.
If you need to use a product with this ingredient on a baby under 6 months, do so sparingly and only on a small area of the body (not the face) at first. Watch the area for 24–48 hours for any redness, rash, swelling, or fussiness that wasn’t there before. If you see any of these signs, stop use and talk to your pediatrician. For routine care, prefer products made and labeled for newborns.
Safety listings note low concerns for cancer, allergy and reproductive effects but also point out a lack of sufficient data (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). The main risk for babies is an allergic reaction or skin irritation. Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin, near the eyes or mouth, and stop use immediately if you notice redness, bumps, swelling, blisters, or if your baby seems uncomfortable or ill after application. If a strong reaction occurs, seek medical care.
