ℹ️General Overview
This is a plant extract (yerba mate). For babies 6–12 months old, it is usually low risk when used on the skin in baby products. There is limited data specifically in very young babies, but overall concerns are low.
✅What to Do
Choose products made for babies that list this ingredient. Do a small patch test on a clean area (like the forearm) and wait 24 hours to watch for any redness or swelling. Use only small amounts, avoid the face near eyes and mouth, and do not put the product on broken or sore skin. If your baby’s skin stays calm after the patch test, use the product as directed.
⚠️Warnings
Stop using right away if you see any rash, redness, swelling, blistering, or if the baby seems uncomfortable. Do not let the baby lick or eat products containing this extract. If your baby has a history of sensitive skin or allergies, talk to your pediatrician before use. These precautions are based on the ingredient’s safety listing showing low concern for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects, but limited data in very young infants means extra care is wise.
