1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years old), marshmallow root extract is generally safe to use on the skin. It is often used to calm and moisturize the skin and has a low chance of causing serious harm.
Use products with this extract as directed and in small amounts. Before putting a new product all over your toddler’s skin, test a small patch on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Keep it away from the eyes and mouth. If you are using it on particularly thin, irritated, or broken skin check with your child’s pediatrician first.
Watch for any redness, itching, swelling, or rash and stop use if these appear. Safety listings note low concerns overall and that Environment Canada classifies this extract as not expected to be toxic to body systems — still, allergic reactions can happen in a small number of children, so patch-test first and seek medical advice if a reaction is severe or spreading.
