1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years old), melon fruit extract is usually safe on the skin. It’s plant-based and most ingredient safety lists mark its concerns as low. Because toddlers have sensitive skin, use a little caution.
If you want to use a product with melon fruit extract on a toddler: 1) test a tiny amount on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours for any reaction; 2) use products in small amounts and avoid applying to broken, red or irritated skin; 3) keep products away from eyes, nose and mouth; 4) prefer rinse-off products (like bath products) or low-concentration lotions; 5) stop use and talk to your child’s pediatrician if you see a rash, swelling or changes in breathing.
Public cosmetic ingredient lists note only low-level concerns for allergy and other endpoints, but parents should still watch for allergic reactions (rash, redness, swelling, hives, trouble breathing). If your child has a known food allergy to melons or a history of eczema or sensitive skin, avoid products with melon extracts or check with your pediatrician first. Also be cautious if the product contains added fragrance or many other active ingredients, which can increase the chance of irritation. The recommendation to watch for allergies and irritation comes from commonly used cosmetic ingredient safety listings.
