6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
Melon fruit extract is generally safe for babies aged 6–12 months when used on the skin at normal levels. It’s a plant extract with low reported risks, but some infants with sensitive skin or fruit allergies could react.
Do a small patch test on a clean spot (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24 hours before regular use. Avoid putting products with this ingredient right on the mouth or lips since babies often put hands and skin in their mouths. Do not use on broken or very inflamed skin. Start with products that have short ingredient lists and no added fragrance or unnecessary extras. If your baby has eczema or known food allergies, check with your pediatrician before use.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction such as redness, swelling, hives, or increased fussiness; if you see any of these, stop use and seek medical advice. The ingredient’s safety entry notes low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunity, and developmental effects—these are listed as low concerns but worth noting. Also avoid products that combine this extract with known irritants or multiple fragrances. Keep all skin products out of reach of children.
