6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For 6–12 month old babies (infants, older babies), hydrolyzed quinoa is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s a natural protein used to soften and condition skin and it is not linked to cancer or developmental harm. The main issue to watch for is a rare allergic skin reaction.
Use products made and labeled for babies when possible. Before regular use, do a small patch test: put a tiny amount on the baby’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Start with a small amount, avoid applying to broken or sore skin, and keep products away from the eyes and inside the mouth. If your baby has a history of eczema or strong allergies, check with your pediatrician first.
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, bumps, or hives — these are signs of an allergy and you should stop use and wash the area. The safety database notes allergy risk as low but possible. If a reaction happens or if the product was used on broken skin, contact your pediatrician. Avoid heavy or frequent use on inflamed skin.
