1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), plantain leaf extract is usually safe when used on the skin. It’s a plant-based ingredient often used to calm and soothe skin.
Before using on your toddler, test a small amount on a patch of skin (inside forearm) and wait 24 hours. Use a small amount only where needed. Keep it away from the child’s mouth and eyes. If your toddler has very sensitive skin, eczema, or the skin is broken, check with your pediatrician first.
Safety summaries note only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects, so these are not major risks. The main thing to watch for is an allergic reaction: redness, swelling, itching, or blistering. If that happens, stop use and see your pediatrician. Also avoid applying to open wounds and keep products out of reach to prevent swallowing (warning based on public ingredient safety listings).
