6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6-12 months (infants, little ones), papaya fruit extract is usually low risk on skin. It is not linked to cancer or major long-term concerns. The most likely issue is mild skin irritation in sensitive babies.
If you want to use a product with papaya extract on your 6-12 month old: 1) Do a small patch test on the inner forearm or thigh and wait 24–48 hours before wider use. 2) Start with products made for babies or sensitive skin and use low-frequency application. 3) Avoid putting it on broken, red, or diaper-area skin. 4) If your baby already has eczema or very sensitive skin, skip it unless advised by your pediatrician.
Watch for redness, swelling, rash, or stinging after application and stop use immediately if these appear. Industry safety reviewers note that some product programs require extra proof of safety or limit concentrations — this is why carefully chosen baby products are safer. If you see a strong reaction, contact your pediatrician or seek medical care. Keep products away from the eyes and mouth.
