1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years) calendula flower extract is generally safe when used on the skin in normal baby or child products. Serious risks are rare. The main concern is that some children who are allergic to plants in the daisy family may get a contact rash.
Before using a new product, do a small patch test: put a tiny amount on the inside of your child’s forearm and wait 24–48 hours for any redness or irritation. Choose products made for babies or toddlers and follow the product directions. Don’t put calendula-containing products on open cuts or raw skin. Stop use right away if you notice increased redness, swelling, itching, blisters, or any breathing problems, and contact your pediatrician.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (redness, swelling, hives, or worsening rash). If your child is known to be sensitive to plants in the daisy/aster family (for example chamomile, ragweed, marigold), avoid calendula. Some industry safety reviews note data gaps and recommend limits or specific uses, and certain product certification programs require extra safety information before allowing this ingredient; follow product labeling and consult your pediatrician if unsure.
