6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months old (infants, babies), rosehip oil is usually gentle and can help dry or chafed skin. Most people don’t have problems with it, but there are a few safety notes from government and industry reviewers, so use it carefully.
If you want to use a product with this oil on a 6–12 month old: 1) choose a product made for babies or a low-concentration formulation; 2) do a small patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24–48 hours; 3) use a small amount once a day at first; 4) avoid applying to broken or very red skin and keep it away from the eyes and mouth; 5) stop use if the baby develops redness, swelling, rash, or any breathing change and check with your pediatrician.
Watch for skin rash, redness, swelling or any breathing problems — these are signs of an allergic reaction. These cautions come from a government review (Environment Canada) that flagged possible organ-system concerns and from an industry review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) that notes limits and data gaps. Also note that some product verification programs require makers to show extra safety testing before including this ingredient.
