6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months old: this seaweed extract is not highly worrying for cancer or common allergies, but there are strong notes about possible contamination with iodine and heavy metals and a weak signal for hormonal effects. Because babies’ skin and bodies are small and more sensitive, I give it a moderate caution.
Use products made for babies and follow label directions. Do a small patch test on a tiny area (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24–48 hours before wider use. Avoid applying near the mouth, eyes, or on broken or irritated skin. Prefer brands that test finished products for heavy metals and impurities or that state they meet baby-safety standards. If you are unsure, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
The provided safety information lists contamination concerns (iodine, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel and others) and notes industry recommendations to limit impurities and concentrations — this is the main reason for caution. Also there is a report of weak hormonal activity in some studies; because infants are more vulnerable to hormone-like effects, avoid frequent or long-term use and stop use and contact a doctor if you see rash, irritation, swelling, feeding changes, or unusual behavior.
