Can older babies use Althaea Officinalis Root Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For an infant 6–12 months old, marshmallow root extract is generally safe on the skin when it’s part of a product made for babies. It’s used to soothe and moisturize and has very low safety concerns in reviews.
✅What to Do
Before using a new product on your baby, do a small patch test: put a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm or behind the knee and wait 24 hours. Use products labeled for babies, apply only a small amount, avoid broken or very red skin, and keep the product away from your baby’s eyes and mouth. Don’t introduce several new products at once so you can see which one causes a problem. If you see irritation, stop use and talk to your pediatrician.
