ℹ️General Overview

For toddlers and young children (1–2 years), lemon balm leaf extract used on the skin is usually safe and has low safety concerns. It’s commonly used to soothe skin and is not linked to serious harms in this age group.

✅What to Do

If you want to use a product with lemon balm on your 1–2 year old: choose products labeled for children or babies, start with a small amount, do a patch test (apply a tiny dot on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours), avoid applying to broken skin or near the mouth and eyes, and keep the product out of reach so the child cannot eat it.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for any redness, swelling, itchiness, or rash — stop use and talk to your pediatrician if these happen. Also avoid giving products containing lemon balm to your child to eat or drink unless they are food products intended for children, because a national food-safety agency notes lemon balm is used in foods and there is limited data about the safety of combined exposures (agency reference: US Food and Drug Administration). If your child has known plant or herb allergies, check with your pediatrician before use.

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Long-Term Risk: This extract is used on skin and in foods, and a U.S. regulatory body has noted it can appear in multiple products while there is limited safety data. That means small amounts from many sources could add up over time, and we don’t have clear information about effects from repeated exposures. Because of that uncertainty, there is a possible long-term risk if someone is exposed again and again.
