Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Viola Tricolor Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (0–6 months) — newborns and babies — this plant extract is not well studied. Some lab and animal studies found effects on the nervous system and immune response, and plant extracts can cause skin reactions. Because babies’ skin and systems are still developing, avoid regular use on infants under 6 months.
✅What to Do
Do not use products containing this extract on babies under 6 months unless a pediatrician advises it. If a product must be used, apply only a tiny amount to a small area once, watch closely for 48 hours, and stop at the first sign of redness, rash, swelling, drowsiness, or unusual behavior. Talk with your pediatrician before use.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or signs of an allergic reaction. Also watch for any unusual sleepiness, limpness, feeding changes, or odd behavior — some animal studies reported nervous-system effects (see study: "Anticonvulsant Activity of Viola tricolor against Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazol and Maximal Electroshock in Mice"). A lab study reported possible effects on immune response (see study: "Immunosuppressive activity of an aqueous Viola tricolor herbal extract"). Avoid use on broken skin, near the eyes, or over large skin areas in infants. If you see concerning signs, stop use and contact your pediatrician or seek medical care.
