ℹ️General Overview

For 1-2 year old toddlers (young children), schisandra fruit extract applied to the skin is likely low risk in small amounts. There is a lab study that suggests it can affect hormone receptors, so we are cautious with toddlers.

✅What to Do

If you use a product with this ingredient on a toddler: do a small patch test on a little area first; use it only in small amounts and not every day over large areas; avoid putting it on broken skin, the face near the mouth or eyes, or diaper areas; stop use if you see redness, swelling, or a rash and talk to your pediatrician.

⚠️Warnings

A published laboratory study found schisandra extracts can activate estrogen receptors ('Extracts from Schizandra chinensis fruit activate estrogen receptors: a possible clue to its effects on nitric oxide-mediated vasorelaxation' (2004)). That is the source of the concern about possible hormonal effects. Because of that study, avoid frequent long-term application to large skin areas in toddlers. Also discontinue use immediately if there are signs of allergic reaction or skin irritation and seek medical advice.

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

No Known Risk: Available information shows only limited lab-level findings (one study where the extract activated estrogen receptors in test systems). There is no clear real-world evidence that topical use harms children’s organs, causes cancer, triggers allergy problems, or affects growth or reproduction. Because the concerns are small and confined to that lab finding, no specific higher-level risks are identified for topical use.
