6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months (infants), soybean seed extract is generally low risk when used on the skin. It’s used as a skin conditioner and the ingredient data shows low concern for cancer or effects on development. However, soy allergies can occur in some children.
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on your 6–12 month old: choose products made for babies, do a small patch test on a clean area (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 48 hours, avoid using on broken or very irritated skin, and stop use immediately if you see redness, swelling, hives, or other irritation. If your baby has a known soy allergy or moderate to severe eczema, avoid products with soy extracts and check with your pediatrician first.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (redness, itching, rash, hives, swelling, trouble breathing). The ingredient data flags allergy risk as low overall but still possible — be especially cautious if your baby has a known soy allergy or family history of food allergies or eczema. The data also notes industry recommendations or restrictions (for example, limits on concentration or required safety substantiation) — this means some certified products may restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide extra safety information.
