6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6 to 12 months old, calendula (pot marigold) used on the skin is usually very safe. It’s often added to baby creams and lotions to soothe and calm the skin.
Before using a new calendula product on your baby: do a small patch test on a thigh or inner arm and wait 24 hours. Use products made for babies and keep amounts small. Avoid putting it near the eyes, mouth, or on open or broken skin. If the product also contains other active ingredients, check those too before use.
Allergic reactions are uncommon but possible, especially in those allergic to the daisy/aster family. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, itchiness, or rash. Seek medical help if your baby has breathing trouble or severe swelling. Sources of safety guidance for this ingredient include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and industry review groups that recommend safe use levels and manufacturing practices.
