Can older babies use Yarrow Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For a 6–12 month old baby, yarrow extract is usually low concern but may trigger skin allergies in some babies. Use with care.
✅What to Do
If you choose to use it, pick a gentle, rinse-off product and use only a small amount. Avoid daily use and avoid leave-on products on baby skin. Do a patch test on a small spot on the outer arm or leg and wait 24–48 hours. Do not use on broken skin, eczema, the diaper area, or near the mouth, eyes, or hands. Do not layer multiple products that all contain yarrow.
