ℹ️General Overview

For babies 6–12 months, cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) flower extract is likely low risk when used on the skin. It’s commonly added to products to soothe skin, but there isn’t a lot of testing done specifically in babies, so we stay careful.

What to Do

If you use a product that contains this extract on your 6–12 month old: use a small amount, avoid the eyes and face unless the product is made for that use, do a patch test on a small area and wait 24 hours before wider use, avoid applying to broken or very irritated skin, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, rash or discomfort. Prefer products labeled for babies and keep all skin products out of reach when not in use.

⚠️Warnings

The safety data provided shows low concerns for cancer, allergy and reproductive effects, but because testing in infants is limited you should watch for skin reactions. If your baby develops a rash, swelling, breathing trouble or other concerning symptoms after use, stop the product and contact your pediatrician right away.
