ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants and older babies): this ingredient is usually low risk but can cause skin allergies or irritation in some babies. Most of the time it’s safe in small amounts, but baby skin is delicate so be careful.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product that lists green tea leaf extract on a baby aged 6–12 months: choose a product made for babies or labeled gentle; do a small patch test first (a pea-sized drop on the inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24–48 hours to watch for redness, swelling, or a rash; avoid putting it on broken, peeling, or very dry skin; use the smallest amount needed and don’t apply near the eyes, mouth, or diapers; if your baby has eczema or a history of plant/tea allergies, check with your pediatrician before use.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any redness, bumps, swelling, oozing, or increased itchiness after use — stop use immediately if these appear and talk to your doctor. There is documented concern about allergic reactions and skin sensitization from fragrance and cosmetic safety groups (International Fragrance Association and Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also note some product certification programs restrict this ingredient unless the maker provides extra safety data, so prefer brands that share safety information.
