2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For kids ages 2 to 5 (toddlers and preschoolers), chamomile flower extract used on the skin is usually safe and often used to calm mild irritation. Only a small number of people can get a skin allergy to it.
Before using a new product on your child, do a small patch test on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours. Use sparingly on broken or very sore skin. If the product is meant to be left on the skin, follow the product directions and stop use if redness, swelling, or itching appears. If your child has known allergies to ragweed or related plants, avoid products with chamomile unless your doctor says it’s okay.
Watch for signs of contact allergy (redness, rash, itching, swelling). The concern about allergies and limited reports about unclear nervous-system or pregnancy-related effects come from evaluations by the European Chemicals Agency and Cosmetic Ingredient Review, and from a few human studies (a 2016 review and a 2010 study on herbal use in pregnancy). These reports do not show clear harm from normal topical use in young children, but they are the reason to be cautious and stop use if any reaction appears.
