Can older babies use Avena Sativa Kernel Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6-12 months old (infants, babies, toddlers under one year), oat kernel extract is generally gentle and used to soothe dry or irritated skin. Most babies tolerate it well.
✅What to Do
Use products made for infants and apply a small amount first to a patch of skin (patch test) on the inner arm or leg. Watch the area for 24–48 hours before using widely. If your baby has a known oat allergy, do not use products with oat extract. If using on rashy or broken skin, choose products specifically made for that condition and check with your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of allergic reaction such as new redness, swelling, hives, itchiness, or breathing trouble — stop use and get medical help if breathing problems occur. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) notes that evidence on allergy risk is limited or not fully assessed and that the ingredient is generally considered safe with some concentration or use limits, so follow product directions and avoid overuse. Also be cautious with products that may be restricted by some certification programs unless the maker provides extra safety information.
