1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years old), this holy basil leaf extract is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. The ingredient has low reported concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental problems, but some product programs note a restriction unless makers provide extra safety data.
Use products made for young children or marked for sensitive skin. Before full use, do a small patch test: put a tiny amount on the inside of the toddler’s forearm, wait 24 hours, and look for any redness or swelling. Follow the product’s directions, avoid using on broken or irritated skin, and keep the product away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has eczema, very sensitive skin, or known plant/herb allergies, check with your pediatrician first.
Stop use and rinse if you see redness, itching, swelling, blisters, or other irritation. The ingredient’s safety listing notes a restriction in some product verification programs (this means some brands may require extra safety information before including it) — check product labels and manufacturer information if you are concerned. Although allergy risk is listed as low, children with known allergies to herbs or basil-family plants should be extra cautious and avoid use unless cleared by a doctor.
