Confidence: HIGH

St. John's Wort extract

⚠️4/10

For babies 6–12 months (infants), this plant extract is generally low risk in safety data, but because baby skin absorbs more, there is some chance of skin sensitivity or stronger reactions in sunlight. Use caution when putting it on a baby’s skin.

Confidence: HIGH

Beeswax

✅2/10

Natural wax emollient and thickener forming a skin barrier. Used in wipes and lotions to stabilize and moisturize. Generally safe. Rare contact allergy, possible propolis contamination.

Confidence: HIGH

Chickweed extract

✅1/10

For infants 6–12 months (baby, infant), chickweed extract used on the skin is likely low risk. It’s commonly found in gentle skin products and shows very low safety concerns in ingredient safety listings, though there's not a lot of specific research in babies.

No Known Risk - Based on available ingredient safety assessments for topical use of chickweed extract, only low-level concerns were noted (for cancer, allergies/immunotoxicity, and reproductive effects) and no higher-level hazards or use restrictions were reported. There is no evidence of a real health risk for typical topical use.

No Known Risk - The safety summary for Plantain Leaf Extract lists only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies and immune effects, developmental/reproductive effects, and use restrictions.
