6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies aged 6–12 months this root extract is not flagged for serious hazards in the ingredient database, but there is little testing done specifically in babies. Many baby skins are still sensitive, so treat this as a cautious ingredient.
If you choose a product that contains this extract: 1) Prefer products made for babies or labeled for sensitive skin. 2) Do a small patch test on a clean area of the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use. 3) Use sparingly at first and avoid the face and diaper area. 4) Don’t apply to broken, irritated, or inflamed skin. 5) Keep products out of reach and follow the product’s age recommendations.
The ingredient database notes low long-term concerns but limited infant data, so the main worry is local skin reactions. Watch for redness, swelling, rash, blisters, hives, or any breathing trouble — if those occur stop use and contact your pediatrician or seek emergency care. Avoid if your baby has known plant or botanical allergies. Do not rely on products intended for adults; avoid high-concentration herbal treatments on babies.
