2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), marshmallow root extract is usually safe to use on the skin. It is commonly added to creams and lotions to help calm and moisturize skin and is rated low for health concerns.
Before using on a larger area, put a small amount on the inside of the child’s arm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Use products made for children when possible, apply to intact (not broken) skin, keep it away from eyes and mouth, and use only as directed on the product label.
Watch for any redness, swelling, itching, or rash. Stop use right away if you see these signs and talk to your pediatrician if the reaction is more than mild. The ingredient records note low allergy concerns and an assessment by Environment Canada stating it is not expected to be toxic.
