2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For preschoolers and young children (2-5 years), aloe vera leaf extract used on the skin is generally safe and has a low risk of causing cancer, growth or reproductive problems, or allergies when used in normal amounts in finished products.
Choose creams or lotions made for children that list aloe vera leaf extract and follow the product label. Before wide use, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for irritation. Do not let your child eat or drink aloe products. Avoid using on open cuts, severe rashes, or very red/broken skin. If irritation occurs, stop use and talk with your child’s healthcare provider.
Industry safety reviews and some scientific studies recommend limits on concentration and control of impurities, so prefer child-friendly products and do not use concentrated or undiluted aloe preparations. Watch for signs of skin allergy or irritation (redness, itching, swelling). There are some data gaps and at least one animal study showed effects at moderate doses — this is why concentration limits are recommended by safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and peer‑reviewed literature).
