2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), carrot root extract is usually safe. It’s a plant-based ingredient used to soften and condition skin and has very low safety concerns overall.
Before using a new product with carrot root extract on your child, try a small patch test: put a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products made for children when possible, apply to small areas first, avoid open wounds or raw skin, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, or a rash. If a strong reaction happens, wash the area and contact your child’s doctor.
Some children with sensitive skin or plant allergies may develop a skin reaction. This is based on limited evidence of skin allergy noted by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Do not use on broken skin, and avoid getting it in the eyes or mouth. If your child has a known allergy to carrots or similar plants, avoid products with this extract.
