ℹ️General Overview

For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), dandelion leaf extract applied to the skin is usually safe. The safety data show very low concern overall.

What to Do

Before using a new product with this ingredient, do a small patch test on the child's inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itch. Use products designed for children when possible, avoid putting the product on broken or very irritated skin, and keep it away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has a known plant or pollen allergy, check with your pediatrician first.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for signs of a skin reaction (redness, swelling, rash, itching). The public ingredient safety database flags allergies as a low concern but individual reactions can still occur — this is the source for the low-allergy note. If you see any reaction, wash the area with water, stop use, and contact your pediatrician. Do not let young children ingest products containing this extract; avoid use on large areas of skin for prolonged periods without medical advice.
