2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
Camellia sinensis leaf is the green tea leaf. For children aged 2-5 years (toddlers and preschoolers) it is generally low risk when used on the skin in normal amounts in skincare products.
Use products made for children when possible. Before putting a new product on a child’s skin, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use small amounts, avoid broken or irritated skin, keep away from eyes and mouth, and stop use if you see any rash, redness, swelling, or any breathing changes. If irritation happens, rinse the area and talk to your child’s doctor.
There is a safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) that says it’s safe with some limits on how it’s used — that means manufacturers may limit concentration in products. The review also notes the evidence on allergic or immune effects isn’t fully assessed, so watch for signs of skin allergy (redness, itching, swelling). Also, some product verification programs may restrict use of this ingredient unless the manufacturer provides safety documentation. If you notice persistent or severe reactions, seek medical care.
