0-6 month old newborns • Skin contact product
Vanilla fruit extract is usually low risk for adults, but it can sometimes irritate skin or cause allergic reactions. For infants (0-6 months), who have very delicate skin, it is best to be cautious.
Try to use fragrance-free products for newborns and young babies. If you must use a product that lists vanilla extract, use only a tiny amount on a small area of skin (away from the face and hands), and only after talking with your baby’s doctor. Check the skin over the next 24–48 hours for any redness, bumps, or swelling.
Do not use on broken skin or apply near the eyes, nose or mouth. Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, a rash, or any breathing trouble. These cautions come from safety assessments by the European Chemicals Agency and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review, which note limited evidence of skin/eye irritation and possible allergic reactions.
