1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years old), German chamomile extract is usually safe on the skin and is often used to soothe irritation. Serious problems are uncommon, but some people can have allergic reactions.
Before using a new product on your toddler, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Choose products labeled for babies or toddlers and that are fragrance-free and mild. Apply only to intact skin, use a small amount at first, and stop use if the skin becomes red, itchy, swollen, or blistered. If your child has a known allergy to ragweed or related plants, avoid products with chamomile extract.
Watch for any signs of skin allergy (redness, itching, swelling, hives, or blistering). Warnings come from ingredient safety reviews that note limited data and a few case reports of allergic or unclear nervous system effects (references include Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the European Chemicals Agency, plus a systematic review and a pregnancy study). Also be aware that some independent product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless a manufacturer provides extra safety information. If you see a strong reaction or breathing problems, seek medical care right away.
