1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years), nettle leaf extract is generally low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin. It’s a plant extract with low flagged concerns in the source data, so most young children will not have problems.
Before using a product with this ingredient, do a patch test on a small area (inner forearm or behind the knee) and wait 24 hours. Use only small amounts, avoid broken or inflamed skin, and keep the product away from the face, eyes, and mouth. If your child has eczema or known plant/pollen allergies, ask your pediatrician before regular use.
The source data flags a low risk of allergic reactions and low overall concern, but allergic contact dermatitis or irritation can still occur in sensitive children. Stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, swelling, itching, or blistering. Seek medical care if the reaction is severe or spreads. Avoid use on open cuts or rashes.
