Can older babies use Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For a baby aged 6–12 months, green tea leaf extract is usually safe on the skin in the small amounts used in baby lotions and wipes. It can help calm skin, but some babies may be sensitive.
✅What to Do
Before using a new product on your 6–12 month old, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products made for babies and those with short ingredient lists. Avoid applying to broken or very red skin, and don’t use products that list this extract near the top of the ingredient list (that suggests a higher concentration). If your baby has eczema or a history of allergies, ask your pediatrician first.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, hives, or increased rash — these are signs of an allergic reaction. The allergy risk is noted by fragrance and cosmetic reviewers (International Fragrance Association and Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also note that some regulators advise limits on how this ingredient is used, so avoid high-concentration or non-baby formulations. If you see any reaction, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
