Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Yarrow Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (0–6 months), avoid using products with yarrow extract on the skin. It can cause rashes or allergies, and there isn’t enough safety information for babies.
✅What to Do
Choose simple, fragrance-free baby products without herbal extracts. If you already have a product with yarrow and must use it, ask your pediatrician first, apply to a tiny test spot on the leg or arm, wait 24–48 hours, and only use a very small amount. Keep it off the face, hands, diaper area, and any broken or irritated skin. Stop right away if you see redness, bumps, swelling, or your baby seems uncomfortable.
⚠️Warnings
Skin allergy/irritation has been reported in people (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). There are data gaps for baby safety and it’s considered safe only with limits in cosmetics (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). It may appear in multiple products and has limited toxicity information as a food-related ingredient, so keep overall exposure low (source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration). Avoid if your baby has a known sensitivity to plants in the daisy/ragweed family.
