1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years) this chamomile plant extract is usually safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. Most reports show low risk, but a few people can get skin reactions or have a pollen allergy that reacts to chamomile.
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on your toddler: choose products made for children, do a small patch test on a tiny area of skin and wait 24 hours before wider use, avoid using on cuts or irritated skin, do not let the child eat or lick the product, and stop use and call your pediatrician if you see a rash, swelling, breathing trouble, or other worrying symptoms.
Low-level concerns come from safety reviews and reports (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the European Chemicals Agency) and a clinical review that mentioned occasional nervous-system case reports. Also note that people allergic to ragweed or related plants may have a cross-reaction to chamomile (allergy reports are limited but documented). Some verified product lists may restrict use of this ingredient without extra safety data. If your child has known plant pollen allergies or a history of sensitive skin, be extra careful and consult your child’s doctor before using products with this extract.
