1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), dandelion leaf extract applied to the skin is generally safe. The ingredient summary shows low concern for cancer, allergy, or harm to development. The most likely issue is a mild skin reaction in sensitive children.
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on a 1-2 year old, first do a patch test: put a tiny dab on the inner forearm or upper thigh and wait 24 hours. If there is no redness, swelling, or itching, you can use it as directed in small amounts. Avoid applying to cuts, broken skin, or right around the eyes and mouth. Check the rest of the product’s ingredients too. If your child has known plant or pollen allergies, be extra cautious.
The ingredient safety summary used for this evaluation reports low concern for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects, and no formal use restrictions. Still, watch for signs of a skin allergy (redness, swelling, blistering, or increased scratching). Stop use and wash the area if a reaction occurs. If your child has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or tongue, or severe rash, seek emergency care right away. Also avoid letting toddlers eat products intended for the skin.
