1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years old) nettle (Urtica dioica) used on the skin is usually safe. Most safety checks show low concern. It is commonly found in shampoos, lotions and calming skin products.
If you want to use a product with nettle on your toddler: 1) Try a small patch test on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours before broader use. 2) Use products made for young children when possible and follow the product instructions. 3) Avoid putting it on broken or very irritated skin and keep it away from the eyes and mouth.
Watch for redness, itching, small bumps or swelling — these are signs of skin sensitivity or allergy. Stop use if you see any reaction. Seek medical help if your child has swelling of the face or trouble breathing. These cautions come from the provided ingredient safety data which notes low overall concern but recognizes that plant extracts can rarely cause contact reactions.
