Can older babies use Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (older infants): this licorice root extract may be okay in small amounts on the skin, but research shows possible effects on hormone systems (especially the adrenal system), and at higher exposures there are reports of liver and heart effects and allergic reactions. Infants are more sensitive than adults, so be careful.
✅What to Do
If you choose a product with this ingredient: 1) Use it sparingly and only on small areas; 2) Avoid applying it to broken skin or under bandages/diapers where it can be trapped; 3) Do a patch test on a small area and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or swelling before fuller use; 4) Prefer products made for babies or labeled for sensitive skin and with low concentration of active extracts; 5) Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you notice a rash, swelling, increased fussiness, poor feeding, breathing changes, or unusual swelling.
⚠️Warnings
Research and toxicology reviews (for example: 'Toxicological Effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice): A Review' and 'Bioactive Candy: Effects of Licorice on the Cardiovascular System') report human evidence of adrenal (hormone) disruption and possible liver and heart effects, plus animal studies showing reproductive and nervous system effects, and some evidence of allergic reactions. Because these findings come from published studies and reviews, avoid long-term, repeated, or large-area application in infants and watch closely for skin or systemic signs.
