1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years) this chamomile flower extract is usually safe on the skin in products made for children. Most safety reviews call it low risk. It can be soothing, but a small number of people can get a rash or allergy.
Use products made for toddlers and follow the product directions. Do a small patch test on a clean area (like the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours before using more widely. Avoid putting it on open cuts or raw skin. If your child has a history of plant or pollen allergies (especially to daisies, ragweed or similar flowers), choose a product without chamomile.
Watch for redness, rash, swelling or itching after first use — these are signs of a contact allergy (information comes from ECHA and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review). There are a few case reports that raised unclear questions about nervous system or pregnancy effects in adults (from a systematic review and a 2010 herbal-use study), but these are not strong evidence of harm for topical use in toddlers. Also note some product standards require companies to show evidence before using this extract in verified products.
