Oregon Grape Root

✅2/10

Oregon grape root is a plant extract that appears to have low safety concerns in ingredient summaries. For infants and newborns (0–6 months) it is likely low risk, but direct safety information for babies is limited, so extra caution is wise.

No Known Risk - Reviewed safety summaries show only low-level concerns (cancer, allergies/immune, developmental or reproductive effects, and use restrictions). No higher-level hazards were identified for topical use in the provided data, so there are no clear risks flagged.

Confidence: MEDIUM

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Organic olive oil is generally safe for baby skin but may rarely cause irritation or worsen eczema used as moisturizer or emollient

No Known Risk - Olive oil is generally considered safe for topical use on baby skin, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, eczema, or other health risks in most infants.
