ℹ️General Overview

For babies 6–12 months (infant, baby), feverfew used on the skin is generally low risk according to the ingredient data. Most concerns listed are low, but plant extracts can sometimes cause skin reactions.

What to Do

If you want to use a product containing feverfew on a baby 6–12 months: use a very small amount, avoid the face and eye area, never put it on broken or irritated skin, and do a small patch test on the forearm or thigh. Wait 24–48 hours to check for any redness, swelling or rash before wider use. If your baby has known plant or ragweed allergies, talk with your pediatrician first.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for any signs of skin reaction (redness, itching, swelling, blistering) and stop use immediately if these occur. Keep the product out of your baby's mouth and eyes. Do not use on broken skin. These cautions are based on the provided ingredient safety data showing low but present risk of allergic reaction in sensitive individuals.
