Is this toddler-safe to use Achillea Millefolium Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years), yarrow extract is generally low risk when used on the skin, but it can cause allergic rashes in some children. It is not known to cause cancer or developmental problems at typical cosmetic use levels, but safety data are incomplete.
✅What to Do
Before applying a product with yarrow to your toddler, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or swelling. Use products labelled for children or mild skin, avoid applying to broken, red, or very irritated skin, and keep the product away from the child’s eyes and mouth. Start with a small amount and stop use if you see any rash, itching, swelling, or other reaction. If a reaction occurs or if your child has a history of plant or herbal allergies, contact your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Regulatory reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) found strong evidence that yarrow can act as a skin allergen — watch for itchiness, redness, hives, or swelling after application. There are also notes about limited safety data and that the ingredient is used in food with incomplete toxicity information (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). If you see breathing difficulty, facial swelling, or severe rash, seek emergency care. Avoid use on infants under 6 months without medical advice and avoid repeated or full-body application until you are sure your child does not react.
