The appeal of Baltic amber teething necklaces often centers around succinic acid, a natural compound found in amber. It’s believed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties—but what does science actually say?
What is Succinic Acid? Succinic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid involved in the body’s Krebs cycle. Baltic amber can contain 3–8% succinic acid, especially in its outer layer.
Proposed Benefits: Proponents claim that when amber is warmed by the skin, succinic acid is released and absorbed, helping reduce inflammation, drooling, and irritability in teething babies.
Scientific Skepticism: Critics argue that there's insufficient evidence to support significant skin absorption of succinic acid from amber. No large-scale, peer-reviewed studies confirm that enough acid is released to affect the body meaningfully.
Balanced Perspective: While rigorous clinical studies are limited, anecdotal reports from thousands of parents suggest real benefits. And because Baltic amber is natural and non-invasive, many parents see it as a gentle alternative worth trying.
Our Take at Baltic Essentials: We advocate for informed decisions. Our amber necklaces are genuine and lab-tested, and we provide clear safety guidelines. While we can’t guarantee outcomes, we support parents in seeking natural options.
If you're curious, we recommend trying it under supervision and judging the results for yourself.
