Can older babies use Achillea Millefolium?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old (infants, babies, young babies): common yarrow is generally low risk but there is limited safety information. The biggest issue is a small chance of skin allergy or irritation.
✅What to Do
Use only products made for babies that list this ingredient at low concentration. Do not use pure yarrow oil or concentrated extracts on your baby. Do a small patch test on a clean area of skin (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24 hours before wider use. Apply a small amount, avoid broken skin and the face/eye area, and stop use if any redness or irritation appears. If you’re unsure, check with your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, blisters, or any change in behavior after applying a product with yarrow; if these happen, wash the area and stop use and contact your pediatrician. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review has noted limited data and recommends some use restrictions and concentration limits, so follow product labeling and avoid undiluted or high-strength yarrow preparations on infants. Keep products out of reach and do not let the baby ingest them.
