6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6-12 month old baby, aloe leaf extract is usually safe on the skin when it comes from products made for babies. It helps soothe and moisturize, but a small number of infants may develop irritation or an allergic reaction.
Use products labeled for babies and for skin use. Do a small patch test on the baby's inner forearm or behind the ear and wait about 24 hours before regular use. Avoid putting the product near the mouth, eyes, or on open cuts. Pick products that say they are purified or made for infants and stop use if you see redness, swelling, rash, or if the baby seems more fussy after application. Talk to your pediatrician if you are unsure or the reaction is worrying.
Watch for skin redness, hives, swelling, or breathing problems and stop use immediately if these occur. Safety reviewers from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review recommend limits on how much and how pure this ingredient should be, and some peer-reviewed animal studies report effects at moderate doses — that is why using low-concentration, baby-formulated products and avoiding ingestion is important. If a product gives no safety information on concentration or purity, avoid using it on your baby.
