1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), this plant extract appears to be low risk when used on the skin. The available safety information reports low concerns for cancer, allergies, developmental or reproductive effects, and for use limits. Still, there is limited testing specifically in very young children.
If you choose a product with this ingredient for a 1-2 year old, do a small patch test first (apply a tiny amount to the forearm and wait 24 hours). Use only small amounts, avoid broken, red or irritated skin, and keep the product away from the eyes and mouth. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, itching, or any rash. Prefer products formulated for children when available.
The provided safety data flags only low-level concerns, but because studies in young children are limited, watch for signs of skin allergy or irritation (redness, swelling, hives, blistering). If any reaction occurs, stop use and contact your child’s pediatrician. Do not use this on infants younger than 6 months without medical advice, and avoid applying to cuts or sore skin.
