6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months old, this ginseng root extract is generally considered low risk for skin use in small amounts, but babies have sensitive skin and we don’t have a lot of formal safety studies in infants.
If you want to use a product containing this ingredient on your baby, choose products made for babies, apply only a tiny amount to a small patch of skin (inner forearm or thigh), and watch that spot for 24–48 hours. Don’t put it on broken skin, near the eyes, mouth, or diaper area. Stop use right away if you see redness, swelling, rash, or fussiness, and check with your pediatrician before using it regularly.
Safety listings note low concern for cancer and reproductive effects, but plant extracts can still cause skin reactions in some children. Watch for rash, redness, swelling, blisters, or breathing changes (rare severe allergy). Avoid products labeled for adults-only or that say 'do not use on children.' If your baby has eczema, very sensitive skin, or is premature, avoid using this ingredient on them unless your pediatrician says it’s okay.
