Can older babies use Phytonadione?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months old, phytonadione is usually low-risk but needs care. Some regulators restrict its use in cosmetic products, and there are a few reports of mild skin or eye irritation.
✅What to Do
Only use products that are clearly labeled safe for babies. If a product lists phytonadione, use a very small amount on a small patch of normal skin first and watch for 24 hours. Don’t apply to sore, broken, or irritated skin. If you see any redness, swelling, rash, or fussiness after applying, stop use and talk to your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Do not assume every product with phytonadione is intended for baby skin — some authorities have restricted or banned its use in cosmetics (see EU Cosmetics Directive). There is limited evidence of skin, eye or lung irritation (reported by European Chemicals Agency). Environment Canada lists it as not expected to be highly toxic and not persistent, but the regulatory restriction for cosmetic use is the main reason for extra caution.
