Safe for preschoolers to use Calendula Officinalis Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For children ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), calendula (marigold) extract is generally safe to use on the skin and is considered low risk for serious harms. It can be soothing, but a small number of children can get an allergic reaction, especially if they are sensitive to marigolds or other plants in the daisy family.
✅What to Do
Before using on your child, do a small patch test: put a tiny bit on the inside of the forearm and watch for 24–48 hours. Use only a small amount and products made for children when possible. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin, and keep the product away from the eyes, mouth, and nose. If your child has a known allergy to marigolds, daisies, ragweed, or other similar plants, do not use it.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, hives, or any breathing trouble after use — stop use and seek medical help for severe reactions. Industry safety reviews note there are recommendations on how much of this extract to use in products and some gaps in exact safety data (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Because of those data gaps, choose products formulated for kids and stop use if any irritation appears.
