6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies 6–12 months old (older infants), this wheat sprout extract is likely low risk when used on the skin, but there isn’t a lot of specific safety testing. Because it comes from wheat, a small number of children could have a skin reaction.
If you want to try a product with this ingredient, do a small patch test first: apply a tiny amount to an area like the inner forearm or the crease behind the knee and wait 24–48 hours. Use a small amount, avoid putting it near the eyes or mouth, and don’t use it on broken, red, or inflamed skin. Stop use right away if you see redness, swelling, itching, blistering, or other signs of irritation and contact your pediatrician.
Watch for signs of a skin allergy (redness, swelling, hives, worsening eczema). Avoid this ingredient if your baby has a known wheat allergy or persistent eczema. Note: an independent ingredient review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) says there is not enough data to fully confirm safety for all uses, so take extra care and patch test before regular use.
