6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months (older infants), mallow extract is generally safe when used on the skin in normal baby products. It’s often added to moisturizers to soothe and hydrate and rarely causes problems.
Before using a new product with mallow extract, do a small patch test: put a pea-sized amount on the inside of your baby’s forearm or thigh and wait 24–48 hours. Use products made for babies and avoid applying to broken or very irritated skin. Start with a small amount and watch for any change. If your baby has eczema, many allergies, or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician first.
Although concerns are listed as low in a reputable cosmetic safety database, watch for any redness, swelling, itching, or rash after applying the product. Stop use immediately and wash the area if irritation occurs. If your baby has known plant or pollen allergies, avoid this ingredient until you get advice from your pediatrician. Keep products away from eyes and mouth and discard if the product changes smell or color.
