6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies aged 6–12 months this seed oil is usually safe to use on the skin. It is a gentle plant oil that helps moisturize and soften baby’s skin and is linked to low health concerns in available reviews and studies.
Use products made for babies or pure oil in small amounts. Do a patch test: put a tiny drop on the inner forearm or thigh and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or rash. Avoid getting the oil in the baby’s eyes or mouth. If your baby has eczema, very sensitive skin, or a known allergy, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
Industry safety reviewers note some data gaps and that safe use may depend on concentration and product formulation (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). A 2017 study found antioxidant effects and no harmful biochemical changes, supporting low concern for direct skin use. Still, stop use and call your pediatrician if you see a rash, swelling, blisters, or breathing changes. Also be careful if the product contains added fragrance, preservatives, or other ingredients — those can cause reactions even when the oil itself is low risk.
