ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years) this yarrow plant extract is generally low risk but can cause skin allergy or irritation in some children.
✅What to Do
Before using on your child, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use a product made for children or one with a short ingredient list, apply a small amount, and avoid broken or chapped skin and the eye area. If your child has a known allergy to yarrow or similar plants (like ragweed or daisies), avoid use. If any redness, itching, or swelling appears, stop use, rinse with water, and contact your pediatrician.
