Danger Score: 3 (Lower is safer)
Quick Answer: Azadirachta Indica Extract is generally considered safe for 6-12 month old babies when used in topical products. Monitor for any reactions in older babies.

ℹ️General Overview

For babies 6–12 months old, neem leaf extract is usually considered low risk when used on normal skin in small amounts. But some animal studies have shown effects on hormones and reproductive cells at high doses, and the skin of babies can absorb more of a product than adult skin.

✅What to Do

If you choose a product with this ingredient for your 6–12 month old: use it sparingly and only on small areas of normal, unbroken skin; choose low-concentration formulations; avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or diaper area; do a small patch test on a tiny area and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction; stop use if you see redness, rash, swelling, or any unusual symptoms and talk with your pediatrician.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for skin irritation or allergic reaction. The concern comes from animal and laboratory studies (around 2000–2014) that showed possible thyroid effects, changes in reproductive cells, and limited mutagenicity at high doses — these were not human studies but are a reason to be cautious with infants. Avoid frequent or widespread use and do not use on broken or irritated skin.
