6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months, chamomile oil is usually gentle and often used to soothe skin, but a small number of people have had allergic reactions and there are limited safety data. Overall it is low risk in diluted baby products, but we aren’t completely certain.
Use products made for babies that list chamomile in a diluted form. Do a small patch test on your own forearm or a tiny area on the baby’s leg and wait 24–48 hours before regular use. Never apply undiluted essential oil directly to a baby’s skin. Keep chamomile products away from the baby’s face, eyes, mouth and any broken skin.
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, or a rash — these are signs of an allergic reaction reported in case studies and in the ingredient safety record. Stop use right away if you see these signs and contact your pediatrician. Be aware that some product safety listings restrict this ingredient unless safety is proven; choose baby products from manufacturers who clearly state they tested their formulations for infant use.
