Can older babies use Polyphenols?
ℹ️General Overview
Polyphenols are plant-based antioxidants used on the skin. For babies 6-12 months (infants, babies, toddlers just over half a year) they are generally low risk when used in mild, low-strength baby products, but there isn’t a lot of study data specifically in this age group.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with polyphenols on a 6-12 month old baby: choose a product made for babies or one that lists low concentrations; do a small patch test on the inner forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours; apply a small amount only once a day at first; avoid putting it near the eyes, mouth, or on broken/irritated skin; stop use immediately if you see redness, bumps, swelling, or increased fussiness and contact your pediatrician if you’re concerned.
⚠️Warnings
Although overall safety listings show low concerns for things like cancer or developmental effects, the evidence in infants is limited. Do not apply to broken skin, avoid the face or areas the baby can easily touch and lick, and watch for signs of allergy (redness, swelling, hives). If your baby has eczema, very sensitive skin, or a known allergy, consult your pediatrician before use. These precautions are based on public ingredient safety assessments and the limited infant-specific data they note.
