Can older babies use Alfalfa Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies aged 6–12 months, alfalfa extract is generally low risk when it is an ingredient in normal baby skin products. It is not known to cause serious problems, but as with any plant extract a small number of babies may have skin sensitivity.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that contains alfalfa extract on your 6–12 month old: test a small amount on a patch of your baby’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products made for babies or labeled for sensitive skin and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Start with a small area and stop if you see redness, swelling, or a rash.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (redness, itch, swelling, or a rash). Although safety listings show low concerns for cancer and reproduction, these findings come from a public ingredient safety report and do not guarantee zero risk. Avoid eye and mouth areas and discontinue use if any skin reaction appears. If your baby has a known plant allergy, check with your pediatrician before use.
