6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), Evening Primrose Flower Extract is likely safe for skin use. The safety information for this ingredient shows very low concerns. It’s commonly used to calm and moisturize baby skin.
Use products made for babies and start with a small amount. Do a simple patch test first: put a drop on a small area (inside forearm or behind the ear) and watch for 24 hours. Avoid putting the product on broken, very red or oozing skin. Keep products away from eyes and mouth. If your baby has eczema or a known plant allergy, check with your pediatrician before use.
Watch for any signs of skin reaction (redness, swelling, rash, blisters) or if your baby becomes unusually fussy after application. The provided ingredient safety listing notes low concerns overall but still flags allergy/skin sensitivity as possible — so stop use and rinse the area if you see any reaction and contact your pediatrician. Do not use on broken skin or if your child has a known allergy to evening primrose or related plants.
