2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For 2–5 year olds (toddlers and young children) Boswellia Serrata used on the skin is likely safe when used in normal amounts. The safety listing used here shows very low concern for risks.
Use products with this ingredient in small amounts on your child’s skin. Do a patch test on a small area (inner forearm or behind the knee) and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Avoid putting the product on broken skin, near the eyes, mouth, or diaper area. If your child has known fragrance or resin sensitivities, choose products formulated for sensitive skin.
Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, hives, blistering, or any sign of irritation. The safety listing notes a low concern for allergy — so allergic reactions are uncommon but possible. If your child has a history of skin allergies or asthma, talk with your pediatrician before regular use. Seek medical care if your child has breathing trouble, swelling of the face or throat, or a severe rash.
