0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0-6 months), sunflower seed wax is low risk when put on the skin. It’s a plant wax used to make lotions and creams thicker and softer. Because baby skin is very delicate, we still recommend being a little careful.
If you want to use it on a baby: apply only small amounts to a small area first, avoid the face area near the mouth and eyes, don’t put it on broken or sore skin, and stop use right away if you see redness, swelling, rash or hives. If your baby has a known sunflower or seed allergy, avoid this ingredient. For very young newborns (first weeks of life) or if you have any doubt, check with your pediatrician before trying a new product.
The provided safety listing flagged only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental and reproductive effects, and use restrictions — these are low-level notes, not major red flags. The main thing to watch for is allergic skin reaction (redness, itchiness, swelling). Keep products containing this ingredient away from babies who might put them in their mouth, and do not let them ingest the product. This assessment applies to the ingredient by itself; finished products may contain other ingredients (like fragrances or preservatives) that can cause problems.
