0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For infants (0–6 months): silk amino acids are generally seen as low risk in safety reviews, but there is limited direct data on very young babies. Because a newborn's skin is delicate, we recommend being careful.
If you use a product with silk amino acids on a baby: choose formulas made for babies, use only a small amount, avoid the face and areas with broken skin, and try it on a small patch of skin (for example, the inner forearm) before wider use. Stop use and speak to your pediatrician if you see any redness, swelling, bumps, or other changes.
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, rash, swelling) and stop use if these occur. Some product-verification programs list this ingredient as restricted unless makers provide safety evidence, and industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note recommendations for safe use—so prefer baby-specific products from reputable brands. Low-level concerns (cancer, reproductive effects, allergy) have been reported as low in safety reviews, so they are not the main worry; irritation or allergy is the main thing to watch for in babies.
