Can older babies use Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For a baby 6-12 months old (infant, older baby), this soapbark extract is usually low risk when used in small amounts in baby products, but some babies can get skin or eye irritation or breathing symptoms.
✅What to Do
Choose products made for babies and at low concentrations. If you try a product with this ingredient, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use rinse-off products (like baby wash) rather than leave-on creams when possible. Avoid putting it on broken or red skin and keep it away from the eyes and mouth. Stop use and rinse well if you see redness, swelling, rash, or the baby coughs or has trouble breathing. Ask your pediatrician if you are unsure.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, rash, eye irritation, coughing or breathing changes — these warnings come from studies of Quillaja saponaria saponins (2019 review) and hazard notes from the European Chemicals Agency that report limited evidence of irritation and toxicity. Also note that safe use in food does not automatically mean all topical uses are without risk.
