2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this extract is gentle when used sparingly. Most kids do fine, but very sensitive or eczema‑prone skin may feel a mild warm or tingle.
Patch test on the inner arm before first use. Start with a pea‑sized amount on healthy, unbroken skin. Keep away from eyes, lips, and nose. Use a few times per week at first and only increase if the skin stays calm.
A small chance of skin irritation or allergy has been noted by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Stop use if you see redness, stinging, hives, or itching. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes ginger for limited use in foods, but skincare is not for eating—keep out of reach and rinse the mouth if a small taste happens. Avoid during active rashes, on open cuts, or if your child has known spice allergies.
