For babies 6–12 months (infant, baby) banana extract is generally safe on the skin when used in typical baby products. The ingredient database rates it as very low concern.

What to Do

Use a small amount of the product that contains banana extract. Do a quick patch test first: apply a pea-sized amount to the inside of the forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours to make sure there is no reaction. Keep it away from your baby’s eyes and mouth. If your baby has known fruit or banana allergy or has moderate-to-severe eczema, check with your pediatrician before using.
