6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), oat kernel oil is usually safe and can help moisturize and calm dry or itchy skin. Most concerns about this ingredient are rated low.
Before using more widely, put a tiny drop on the baby’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use products made for babies or simple formulations without added fragrance. Start with a small amount, avoid broken skin, and keep oil away from the eyes and mouth.
Some industry safety reviews note data gaps and recommend concentration and manufacturing standards (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Stop use and call your pediatrician if the baby develops a rash, swelling, or breathing trouble. Do not use if your baby has a known oat or grain allergy. Also avoid products with added fragrances or extra ingredients that may be irritating.
