0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
For newborns and infants (0-6 months): the ingredient comes from wheat sprouts and current evidence shows low concern for major long-term harms, but there isn’t enough safety data specifically for very young babies. Because baby skin is delicate and this is a plant-derived wheat extract, we should be careful.
Avoid putting new products with this ingredient on a baby’s skin unless a pediatrician recommends it. If you must try it, do a very small test: apply a tiny amount to a small area of the baby’s inner forearm or behind the knee and watch for 48 hours. Use only on unbroken skin, avoid the face, eyes, mouth and diaper area. If your family has a history of wheat or food allergy, talk to your pediatrician first and consider avoiding it.
There is a noted lack of safety data according to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review, so that is the main reason for caution. Also, because this is a wheat-derived extract, it can cause contact reactions in people with wheat sensitivity—watch for redness, rash, swelling, hives, or any breathing changes. Stop use and contact your pediatrician or emergency services if your baby has worsening rash, swelling or any trouble breathing. Keep products out of reach of children and do not use on broken or irritated skin.
