Can older babies use Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (older infants), argan kernel oil is generally safe when used on the skin. Reviews and studies show very low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on development. There is limited information about skin irritation, so a few babies may react.
✅What to Do
Before using on your baby, do a small patch test: put a drop on the inside of the forearm or behind the knee and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or swelling. If no reaction, you can use a small amount on dry skin only, once daily. Choose a pure, fragrance-free product and avoid putting it near the baby’s mouth, nose, or eyes. If your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before trying it.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, itching, or any unusual fussiness after applying — stop use right away if these occur and contact your pediatrician. The safety review notes that irritation data is limited (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review), so irritation is the main remaining concern. The ingredient has been studied for protective antioxidant effects in animals (2017 study), and overall reviews find low concern for allergy and developmental harm (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
