2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years), aloe vera leaf extract is usually safe in skin products like lotions and wipes. Serious problems are uncommon, but some children can get a skin reaction.
Use products labeled for children or sensitive skin. Do a quick patch test: put a little on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Don’t put products with aloe on broken skin or open cuts. Choose products that say the aloe is purified or low in aloin. If your child develops a rash, swelling, or breathing trouble, stop use and see a doctor.
Watch for skin redness, itching, hives, or swelling — this comes from reports of allergic or irritant reactions. Also note that industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) recommend limits on concentration and controls for impurities, and some laboratory (animal) studies reported systemic effects at higher doses. Finally, some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless a manufacturer can show safety data — so prefer brands that provide clear safety or purity information.
