Can older babies use Calendula Officinalis?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old, calendula seed oil is generally gentle and often used to calm and moisturize skin. It is considered very low risk when used in products made for babies.
✅What to Do
Use only baby-formulated products that list calendula seed oil. Do a patch test: put a tiny amount on the inner thigh or forearm and wait 24–48 hours. If there is no redness or swelling, you can use it on larger areas. Avoid putting it near the eyes, inside the mouth, or on open, broken skin. If your child has known plant allergies, check with your pediatrician first.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (redness, hives, swelling, or increased fussiness at the site). People with allergies to ragweed or the daisy family can sometimes react to calendula — be extra careful if your child has those allergies. Also follow product directions because the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) notes that safety can depend on concentration and product quality; avoid concentrated extracts or products not intended for infants. If any reaction occurs, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
