Can older babies use Achillea Millefolium Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants), yarrow extract is usually low risk but can cause allergic skin reactions in some children. It’s not strongly dangerous overall, but it can irritate or cause a rash in sensitive babies.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that contains this extract: choose products made for babies, use a small amount, and do a patch test on a small area of the arm first. Wait 24–48 hours to check for any redness, swelling, or itch. Use it sparingly, avoid concentrated extracts, and don’t apply to broken or irritated skin. If your baby has eczema, very sensitive skin, or a history of allergies, avoid this ingredient or ask your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, hives, or increased itch where the product was used. If any of these happen, stop use and talk with your child’s doctor. Safety reviews note strong evidence that yarrow can be a skin allergen (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and that it has been used in foods/additives with limited safety data (source: U.S. FDA). Because of those findings, be cautious, patch-test first, and avoid repeated or heavy use on infants.
