6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies aged 6–12 months (older infants), sunflower seed oil used on the skin is generally gentle and safe. It has low concern for cancer, allergies, and other long-term problems according to government and industry safety reviews.
Use plain sunflower seed oil or products that list sunflower oil as a main ingredient and have few other ingredients. Avoid products with added fragrances or many unknown chemicals. Before wide use, do a small patch test on your baby’s inner forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours to watch for any reaction. If your baby has eczema or a known seed allergy, check with your pediatrician first.
Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, hives, blisters, or any unusual skin reaction. Be cautious about products where the manufacturer doesn’t list all ingredients or uses solvents—safety reviews note possible data gaps related to impurities and concentration limits (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review and Environment Canada). If your family has a history of seed or severe allergies, discuss before trying a new oil on your baby.
