2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For preschoolers and young children (ages 2–5), bilberry extract used on the skin is generally considered safe. The safety listings for this ingredient show only low-level concerns, so it is usually fine in creams, lotions and serums made for kids.
Use products that list bilberry extract as part of a short ingredient list and follow the product instructions. Before using a new product on a child, do a small patch test on the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use the product sparingly at first, avoid the eyes, mouth and broken skin, and rinse off immediately if the child complains of stinging. If you are unsure, choose products specifically formulated for children.
Although broad safety listings show only low concerns for cancer, allergies and reproductive effects, some children can still develop skin sensitivity to plant extracts. Stop use and talk to your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, blistering or any hives after applying a product with bilberry extract. Also avoid letting your child eat or lick products that contain this extract, since safety for swallowing is not covered here. The above guidance is based on the provided ingredient safety data, which lists low concern levels for the noted issues.
