2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (2–5 years), feverfew used on the skin is generally safe and considered very low risk. Most children will not have problems when it’s used in small amounts in products made for kids.
Before wide use, put a tiny amount on a small patch of skin (inner forearm) and wait 24–48 hours. If no redness or irritation appears, you can use the product on other areas. Only use formulations meant for children, avoid the face and eyes, don’t put it on cuts or sore skin, and use the smallest amount needed.
The safety listing we reviewed notes low concerns overall, but watch for allergic reactions because feverfew is in the daisy/aster plant family. If your child has known allergies to ragweed, chamomile, or similar plants, or has eczema, check with your pediatrician first. Stop use and call your doctor if you see persistent redness, swelling, blistering, breathing trouble, or any other worrying reaction. Keep all products out of reach of children.
