1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For a 1-2 year old toddler, neem (Azadirachta Indica) leaf extract is usually low risk for occasional, small-area skin use. It can sometimes irritate or cause allergic reactions and, in animal studies at high doses, there were a few concerns including effects on the thyroid and reproductive cells.
Before using a product with this ingredient on your toddler, do a small patch test on the arm and wait 24–48 hours. Use only small amounts and avoid applying to broken, red, or sore skin. Do not use it all over the body or every day unless the product is specifically made for toddlers and recommended by a pediatrician. If you see redness, swelling, rash, vomiting, unusual sleepiness, or other worrying signs, stop use and call your child’s doctor.
Animal studies and genotoxicity tests cited in the ingredient’s safety profile noted thyroid effects at high doses and limited evidence of reproductive/genetic effects — these are from the scientific reports referenced in the ingredient data. Also note that young children absorb more through the skin (enhanced skin absorption), so avoid heavy or repeated use, keep products away from eyes and mouth, and do not apply to broken skin. If your child has a known plant allergy or sensitive skin, avoid use and consult your pediatrician.
