1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years): arnica may cause skin allergies and irritation. It is not a good choice for everyday baby or toddler skin care. Use only with care and only sometimes.
If you need to use a product with arnica on a 1–2 year old: do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours; use a very small amount; do not apply to broken or scraped skin; avoid the face and hands that go to mouth; stop use at the first sign of redness, itching, swelling or blisters and talk to your child’s doctor.
There is strong evidence from expert reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) that arnica can be a skin allergen. Watch for rash, swelling, blistering, or increased irritation and stop use right away. Do not use on cuts or broken skin. Some reviewers also note limited safety data, so err on the side of caution. (Note: a separate agency lists limited safe use in food — that does not mean topical use is risk-free.)
