0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and babies 0–6 months, sugar maple (Acer saccharum) extract is generally considered low risk in adults, but there isn’t much data about its use on very young babies. Because infant skin is delicate, we should be cautious.
Prefer products made and labeled for infants. Avoid putting products with sugar maple extract on a baby’s skin unless the product is specifically formulated for babies or your pediatrician says it’s okay. If you must use a product that contains it on an older baby, apply only a very small amount to a tiny patch of healthy skin and watch for 24–48 hours before wider use. Never use on broken, peeling, or irritated skin.
The ingredient safety information provided lists low concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects, but data for infants is limited. Watch for redness, rash, swelling, blisters, fussiness, or breathing changes after use; if any appear, stop use and call your pediatrician or seek urgent care. Do not use adult or fragranced products with this ingredient on infants under 6 months without medical advice.
