2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2-5 years (toddlers, preschoolers, young kids), chamomile extract used on the skin is usually low risk. It can help soothe skin but very rarely causes allergic rashes, especially in kids who have plant or pollen allergies.
If you plan to use a product with this extract on your child: choose a product made for kids or from a trusted brand, try a patch test on a small area of their arm first, use a small amount, avoid putting it on broken or very red skin, and keep it away from eyes and inside the mouth.
Stop using right away and call your doctor if you see a new rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or severe irritation. Be extra cautious if your child has known allergies to ragweed, daisies, or similar plants. The caution comes from safety reviews and regulatory assessments (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and European Chemicals Agency) and a few clinical reports that describe rare or unclear reactions — these are uncommon but worth watching for.
