6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months old, papaya fruit extract is generally safe when used in baby products. Most information shows very low concerns, but a few sensitive infants may get mild irritation or an allergy.
If you want to use a product with papaya fruit extract on your 6–12 month old: choose products made for babies, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours, avoid applying to broken or sore skin, keep it away from eyes and mouth, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, or a rash. If you notice a strong reaction, contact your pediatrician.
Watch for signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, itching, swelling, blistering). Some industry guidance (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes there may be restrictions or concentration limits for safe use in products — follow product labels and baby-specific formulations. If a product label warns to avoid use on damaged skin, follow that direction. If a severe reaction occurs, seek medical care.
