6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months old (infants, older babies), oat kernel oil is usually safe when put on the skin. Serious problems are rare and most safety checks find low concern for cancer, allergy, and effects on growth or development.
Before using on your baby, test a small amount on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours. Use a small amount on clean, intact skin. Avoid getting it in the eyes or on broken skin. If your baby has a known oat or cereal allergy, do not use. Prefer products with few added ingredients and follow any product label limits.
Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, rash, blisters, hives, or breathing trouble. Note: an industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) mentioned some data gaps and possible limits on how this ingredient is used, and some product-verification programs restrict its use unless the maker provides safety data — so check product labels and manufacturer information.
