For babies 6-12 months (infants, older babies): Generally low risk when used on the skin. Most safety concerns are low, but a few babies can get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

✅What to Do

If you want to use a product with carrot root extract on your 6-12 month old: apply a very small amount to a hidden spot (inside of the ankle or inner arm) and wait 24–48 hours to check for a reaction. Use only on healthy, unbroken skin and keep away from eyes and mouth. Start with a small area and small amount. If your baby has eczema or known plant allergies, talk with your pediatrician first.

⚠️Warnings

Stop use and contact your child's doctor if you see redness, swelling, hives, blistering, or any breathing changes. Limited reports of skin irritation or allergy come from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), so watch for signs of a reaction. Do not let your baby eat or lick products, and avoid using on broken or inflamed skin.
