6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months (infants), meadowsweet flower extract is likely low risk when used on the skin in small amounts. It can contain natural salicylate-like compounds that very rarely cause skin reactions. Overall there is limited specific research in infants, so use caution.
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on a 6–12 month old baby: try a small patch test first (a tiny amount on the inner forearm or behind the ear), wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation, use only a small amount on intact skin, avoid large areas or covering the area with a bandage, keep it away from eyes and mouth, and stop use immediately if you see redness, rash, swelling, or any breathing difficulty. If your baby has a known sensitivity to aspirin or salicylates, check with your pediatrician before use.
Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin and avoid if the baby has a known allergy to aspirin/salicylates. Watch for signs of skin allergy (redness, rash, swelling, hives) or any breathing changes and seek medical help if those occur. These cautions come from the ingredient safety listing information that notes low but possible allergy/sensitivity concerns for this extract.
