6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For a 6–12 month old baby (older infant), this botanical extract is likely low risk when it’s used in normal amounts in baby lotions or creams. There isn’t strong evidence of harm, but there’s also not a lot of research done specifically in babies.
Use products that are made for babies and follow label instructions. Before putting a new product on your baby’s whole body, do a small patch test: apply a tiny amount to the inside of the forearm or behind the knee and wait 24–48 hours. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin and keep products away from eyes and mouth. If you see redness, swelling, itching, or any unusual reaction, stop use and talk to your child’s doctor.
A safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) noted there isn’t enough data to fully determine safety in all groups, so be cautious. Although general concerns for cancer, allergy and developmental effects are listed as low in safety databases, watch for allergic reactions (redness, rash, swelling) and avoid if your baby has known plant-related allergies. If your baby develops a rash or breathing problems after using a product, stop use and seek medical care.
