2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), aloe vera leaf powder used on the skin is generally safe when it is in normal amounts in creams or lotions. Overall findings show low risk for cancer and allergies, but some older animal studies and reviews note possible effects at much higher exposures and there are a few gaps in safety data.
Do a small patch test on the inside of the child’s forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products made for children or ones with simple ingredient lists. Apply a thin layer and avoid putting it on broken or very irritated skin. Stop use and wash the area if redness, swelling, or a rash appears. Keep all skincare products out of reach so the child does not eat them.
A cosmetic industry review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, 2006) reported animal studies showing reproductive effects at moderate doses — this is why we stay cautious, although those situations involved much higher exposures than normal topical use. Peer-reviewed literature also notes some gaps in safety data for this ingredient. Also be careful with concentrated extracts and avoid products with added fragrances or unknown preservatives that can irritate sensitive skin.
