Can older babies use Myrica Cerifera Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months this bayberry root extract is generally low risk according to public safety reviews. It’s a plant extract that most babies tolerate, but plant extracts can sometimes irritate very sensitive skin or cause a mild allergy.
✅What to Do
Use products made for babies that list this ingredient rather than applying the raw extract. Do a small patch test on the baby’s inner forearm or thigh and wait 24–48 hours before wider use. Start with a product formulated for infants and use sparingly. Avoid the face near the mouth and eyes. If the baby has eczema or very sensitive skin, try to use products without extra botanical extracts unless recommended by your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Public safety listings mark this ingredient as low concern, but because testing in infants is limited you should watch for redness, swelling, bumps, itching, or new rashes after use. Stop use and rinse the area if any reaction appears. If the reaction is severe or the baby has trouble breathing or swelling of the face, seek medical help right away.
