Can older babies use Humulus Lupulus Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies (6–12 months), hops extract is usually safe and low risk. Most safety reviews say it is safe in small amounts, but a few people can get skin reactions, and baby skin is still sensitive.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with hops extract on a 6–12 month old: 1) choose products made for babies; 2) do a small patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24–48 hours; 3) don’t put it on broken, red, or irritated skin; 4) avoid putting it where it will be covered tightly (diaper area) or left on under wraps; 5) stop use immediately if you see redness, swelling, blistering, or increased fussiness; 6) talk with your pediatrician before using if your baby has eczema or known allergies.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reactions — the European Chemicals Agency has noted limited evidence of skin allergy. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review says hops extract is safe in cosmetics but may have concentration limits. The U.S. FDA has designated hops as safe for certain limited food uses, and Environment Canada does not consider it likely to be systemically toxic. Also note some product standards require extra safety documentation before using this ingredient in verified products. If any reaction occurs, stop use and seek medical advice.
