6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6–12 month old baby (infant), this plant extract is generally seen as low risk in ingredient reviews, but one scientific study found it can activate hormone receptors. Because babies are still developing, we should be careful.
If your baby will be exposed to a product that lists this extract: 1) Prefer products used only occasionally rather than every day; 2) Do a small patch test on a tiny area of the baby’s skin and wait 24–48 hours to watch for redness, rash, or swelling; 3) Avoid using products with this extract on broken skin, diaper area, or over large areas; 4) If you have a choice, pick simpler products without this botanical for everyday baby use.
A scientific study reported that Schisandra fruit extracts can activate estrogen receptors (a possible hormonal effect). The ingredient safety review also flags low-level hormone concerns. Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, unusual fussiness, or any other change after use, and stop use and talk with your pediatrician if any of these appear.
