2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (age 2-5), aloe vera leaf water is usually safe on the skin when it's in regular lotions or gels. The chance of serious harm is low.
Use finished products made for children when possible. Before using a new product, put a small amount on a patch of skin (behind the ear or inside the elbow) and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Do not put aloe products in the mouth or on deep cuts. Stay away from products that list a very high concentration of aloe or are meant to be taken internally.
Stop use and rinse if you see redness, swelling, blistering, or hives. Be extra careful if your child has known plant allergies. Industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note limits on concentration and impurities and say some certification programs restrict this ingredient unless safety data is provided — that’s why it’s best to stick with child-formulated products and avoid concentrated extracts.
