6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies aged 6–12 months (infants), this root extract is generally considered low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin. There isn’t a lot of testing specifically in babies, so we stay cautious.
If you use a product containing this ingredient on your 6–12 month old: 1) choose products made for babies and that are fragrance-free when possible, 2) do a small patch test on a clean area (inner forearm or behind the ear) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation, 3) use a small amount and avoid the face, eyes, mouth and diaper area, and 4) stop use and rinse with water if you see any rash or swelling and contact your pediatrician if it looks serious.
The safety database used for this review flagged only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunotoxicity and reproductive/developmental effects — these were rated low, not high. The main practical risk for a baby is skin irritation or an allergic reaction from a plant extract. Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin, keep products away from the baby’s eyes and mouth, and be extra careful if your baby has eczema or known plant allergies. If unsure, talk with your pediatrician before regular use.
