🚫8/10
Comfrey contains toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can harm the liver and skin especially in babies. It is not safe for topical use on infants 6-12 months.
Organ Risk - Comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which are known to be toxic to the liver and can cause organ damage even with topical use, especially in infants with sensitive skin.
Absorbed - Pyrrolizidine alkaloids in comfrey can be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream, posing systemic risks.
Cancer - Some pyrrolizidine alkaloids found in comfrey are classified as possible human carcinogens, with evidence of causing tumors in animal studies.
Banned - Comfrey is banned or restricted in several countries for use in cosmetics and topical products due to its toxicity.
Long-Term Risk - Repeated or long-term exposure to comfrey's toxic compounds can lead to cumulative health effects, including liver damage and cancer risk.

Burdock is a plant extract sometimes used for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties in topical products. Generally safe but minor allergy risk exists for sensitive baby skin.
No Known Risk - Burdock extract is generally considered safe for topical use, with no strong evidence linking it to irritation, hormone disruption, cancer, or other health risks in babies. There are no well-documented cases or studies showing harm from topical use in infants, so it is considered low risk based on current research.
Confidence: HIGH

For babies 6-12 months (infants and older babies), thyme in small amounts is usually low risk. However, thyme contains essential oils that can bother sensitive skin, so it should be used carefully.
