Can older babies use Artemisia Vulgaris?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months, this plant oil is generally seen as low risk by safety listings, but it can irritate or cause allergic skin reactions in some infants.
✅What to Do
Prefer products made for babies that do not list this oil. If you choose to use a product with it, test a very small patch on your baby’s inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use a very small amount, do not put it on broken or inflamed skin, keep it away from the face and eyes, and stop use at the first sign of redness or rash. Talk with your pediatrician before using it if your baby has known plant or pollen allergies.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, hives, persistent rash, or any breathing change — stop use and seek care if that happens. This ingredient is noted as not expected to be toxic by Environment Canada, but some product-verification programs restrict its use unless companies provide safety data, so many baby products avoid it. If your baby has seasonal allergy or a history of sensitive skin, avoid this oil.
