Can older babies use Oryzanol?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old (older infants), oryzanol used on the skin is considered low risk. It comes from rice bran and acts as an antioxidant. There’s no strong evidence it causes cancer, allergies, or long-term harm to people, but data specifically in babies is limited.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with oryzanol on a 6–12 month old baby: use a small amount, apply to a small patch of skin first and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or rash, avoid putting it on broken or irritated skin, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and use only as often as the product label or your pediatrician recommends. If the baby has a history of sensitive skin or eczema, check with your child’s pediatrician before regular use.
