6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6–12 month old baby, chamomile flower extract is generally low risk when used on the skin. Most babies tolerate it fine, but a small number can have a contact allergy, especially if they are allergic to ragweed or other daisy-family plants.
If you use a product containing this extract on your infant (6–12 months): - Use products made for babies and avoid ones with extra fragrance. - Do a small patch test on a tiny area (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24–48 hours before using more widely. - Avoid putting it on broken or irritated skin. - Start with a small amount and use sparingly; don’t apply to large areas at first. - If you have concerns (family history of plant/daisy allergies or pregnancy exposure questions), check with your pediatrician before regular use.
Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see any redness, swelling, hives, blistering, or breathing changes after using a product with chamomile. The warnings come from safety reviews and case reports cited by regulatory and industry assessments (European Chemicals Agency; Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and a systematic review of human case studies. Also note that some product certification programs restrict or require extra safety documentation for this ingredient—look for clear manufacturer information if that matters to you.
