Can older babies use Marula Oil?
ℹ️General Overview
For a 6–12 month old baby, marula oil is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a mild, natural oil used for moisturizing and is not linked to major health concerns in the ingredient database referenced for this review.
✅What to Do
Before using on your baby’s body, put a tiny drop on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any redness or rash. If there is no reaction, use a small amount on dry areas. Avoid the face near eyes, the mouth, and any cuts or raw skin. Choose a pure marula oil product with no added fragrances or other active ingredients.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of irritation such as redness, swelling, rash, or blistering — if these occur, stop use and talk to your pediatrician. If your baby has a known plant/seed allergy, consult your doctor first. The ingredient database used for this evaluation lists only low-level concerns for allergy and other long-term risks, so the practical risk to most babies is low, but you should still do a patch test and avoid use on broken skin.
