2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), papaya fruit extract is generally mild and low-risk when used on the skin in normal topical products.
If you plan to use a lotion, cream, or other skin product with papaya extract on your child, do a small patch test first on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products made for children when possible, avoid application to broken or irritated skin, keep products away from the eyes and mouth, and stop use if your child develops redness, swelling, itching, or a rash.
Watch for allergic reactions such as redness, swelling, hives, or persistent itching. If your child has a known allergy to papaya or related substances, do not use it. Some safety reviews recommend limits on concentration or certain product types (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also be aware that some product verification programs require manufacturers to provide safety data before including this ingredient in certified products.
