6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months (infants), Aloe Vera leaf extract is usually safe when it’s in baby-formulated products at low levels. It can help soothe and moisturize skin, but a small number of people can be sensitive to it.
Use products made for babies that list Aloe Vera leaf extract at low concentrations. Before using widely, do a small patch test on a tiny area of your baby's arm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Apply only to intact skin (not on cuts or open sores). Use a small amount and avoid getting it in the eyes, nose, or mouth.
Watch for any redness, swelling, or rash — stop use right away if these appear. The advice above comes from the ingredient safety review and peer-reviewed studies that note limits on concentration and concerns about impurities. Also note some product verification programs require proof of safety before this ingredient is allowed in verified baby products, so prefer trusted baby brands and read labels. If your baby has a history of sensitive skin or eczema, check with your pediatrician before use.
