Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Urtica Dioica?
ℹ️General Overview
Urtica Dioica (stinging nettle) is generally low risk for skin products. For babies 0-6 months it is usually safe when used in products made for infants, especially if it is a rinse-off product like shampoo or body wash. Newborn skin is delicate, so extra care is recommended.
✅What to Do
Use products that are labeled for babies and contain nettle only in rinse-off formulas (shampoo or body wash). Before first full use, do a small patch test on a thigh or chest and wait 24 hours. Use a small amount, rinse well, and do not use near the eyes or on broken or irritated skin. If your baby has known plant allergies, avoid nettle-containing products.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, rash, or increased fussiness after use — stop immediately if you see these signs. Although safety records list low risk for allergies, plant extracts can occasionally cause contact reactions in sensitive infants. This guidance is based on a public ingredient-safety database used for this evaluation.
