6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months (infants), calendula flower extract is usually gentle and used to soothe and moisturize skin. Most babies tolerate it well, but a very small number may get a skin reaction.
Before using a new calendula product on a 6–12 month old baby, test a small amount on a patch of skin (forearm or leg) and wait 24 hours. Use products made for babies and follow the product directions. If your baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, ask your pediatrician first. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, itching, or a rash.
Watch for signs of a contact allergy (redness, swelling, itching, blistering). People allergic to ragweed or other plants in the aster family may be more likely to react. Industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note limits on concentration and some gaps in safety data, and some product-certification programs require extra proof before allowing this ingredient in certified baby products—so choose trusted brands and check labels. If any reaction occurs, stop use and consult your pediatrician.
