Quick Answer: Myrica Cerifera Fruit Wax is generally considered safe for 6-12 month old babies when used in topical products. Monitor for any reactions in older babies.

ℹ️General Overview

Generally safe for babies 6-12 months when used on the skin in normal amounts. It is a plant wax used to soften and protect skin and is not expected to be toxic according to government assessment.

✅What to Do

Choose products made for babies, apply a small amount to intact skin (not broken or raw areas), avoid the face near eyes and mouth, and do a patch test on a small area (inner forearm or behind the knee). Watch the test spot for 24–48 hours for any redness, swelling, or rash. If your baby has known plant or botanical allergies, check with your pediatrician before use. Keep all skincare out of reach so the baby cannot put the product in their mouth.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for signs of irritation or allergic reaction (redness, rash, swelling). This ingredient comes from a plant and, although reported concerns are low, plant-derived ingredients can occasionally cause contact allergy. Government testing (Environment Canada) reports it is not expected to be toxic — that is the source for the safety assessment. Avoid application to broken or inflamed skin and stop use if irritation appears. Always check the full product label because other ingredients could cause problems.
