6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6 to 12 months old, aloe vera leaf juice used on the skin is usually safe when it is part of a product made for baby skin and used in small amounts. It helps moisturize and soothe, but a small number of babies may be sensitive.
Before using on your 6–12 month old, do a small patch test on the arm and wait 24 hours. Use products labeled for babies or that state low aloin/impurity levels and proper preservation. Apply sparingly to a small area. Don’t use on deep cuts, open wounds, or broken skin. If you plan to use over large areas or for a long time, check with your child’s pediatrician.
Watch for redness, swelling, rash, or increased fussiness after applying — stop use if any appear. Do not let the baby eat or lick pure aloe products; ingestion can be harmful. Industry safety reviews note limits on concentration and impurity controls (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and there are some data gaps, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognizes limited food uses — these are reasons to prefer baby-formulated, well-documented products.
