Can older babies use Matricaria Recutita Flower Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (older infants), chamomile (Matricaria recutita) flower extract is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. Most babies won’t have problems, but a small number can get a skin allergy.
✅What to Do
Use baby-specific products that list this ingredient; first try a patch test on a small area (inner forearm or behind the knee) and wait 24 hours; avoid applying to broken, red, or irritated skin; keep product away from the eyes and mouth; use a small amount to start and watch for any reaction; if your baby has known allergies to ragweed, chrysanthemum, marigold or other daisy-family plants, avoid products with this ingredient or check with your pediatrician before use.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and call your pediatrician if you see increasing redness, swelling, bumps, blisters, hives, or any breathing trouble. The caution comes from official safety reviews and a few human case reports (sources: European Chemicals Agency; Cosmetic Ingredient Review; a 2016 systematic review; a 2010 pregnancy-related study). Some certified product programs restrict its use unless there is extra safety data, so check product labels and manufacturer notes.
