2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For preschoolers (children aged 2–5 years), this mushroom stem extract is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. The available safety notes list low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on development, but there isn’t a lot of direct testing in young children.
If you plan to use a product with this ingredient on a 2–5 year old: do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours; use only as directed on the product label; avoid applying to broken or irritated skin; keep the product away from the child’s mouth and eyes; supervise after application so the child doesn’t touch and then put their hands in their mouth.
Watch for signs of irritation (redness, itching, rash), swelling, or breathing difficulty and stop use if any of these happen. These warnings come from the provided ingredient safety data indicating possible allergy concerns even though they are listed as low. If you’re unsure or the child has a history of skin reactions or a weakened immune system, talk to your pediatrician before use.
