1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (1-2 years), oat kernel extract is usually safe on the skin and is often used to soothe dry or itchy skin. Most children tolerate it well, but it can cause a reaction in kids who are allergic or very sensitive to oats.
Use products made for babies or toddlers when possible. Do a small patch test on your child’s inner arm and wait 24 hours before using widely. Start with a small amount and avoid applying on open cuts or infected skin. If a product lists concentration limits or is formulated for children, that helps reduce risk.
Avoid this ingredient if your child has a known oat allergy or has had reactions to oat-containing products. Watch for redness, increased itching, swelling, hives, or breathing trouble — stop use and contact your pediatrician if these happen. Note: cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) indicate the allergy evidence is unclear and recommend use within established concentration or use limits; some product certification programs may also restrict use unless manufacturers provide safety information.
