2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For kids aged 2-5 (toddlers, preschoolers, young children), eggplant extract used on the skin is generally low risk when it’s part of a normal product and used in small amounts.
Before using a new cream or lotion, put a tiny bit on the inside of your child’s forearm or behind the knee and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Keep it away from the eyes and any cuts or scrapes. Use a small amount the first few times. Stop using the product if you see redness, swelling, itching, hives, or a rash. If your child has a known allergy to eggplant or other nightshade plants (for example tomatoes, peppers, potatoes), do not use products that list this ingredient.
Watch for allergic reactions (redness, swelling, hives, or itching). A public cosmetic ingredient database reports only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunotoxicity, and developmental or reproductive effects — meaning those issues are not expected at normal cosmetic use levels, but individual allergies are still possible. Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin and do not apply near the eyes. This guidance is based on the ingredient’s topical safety summary from a widely used public cosmetic ingredient database and applies to the ingredient alone.
