Hydroxytyrosol is a mild antioxidant from olives. For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers) it is considered low risk when used on the skin at normal amounts in skincare products.
Use products made for children or gentle formulas. Before using a new product, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use a small amount, avoid the eyes and mouth, and do not apply to broken or sore skin. If you plan to use a product over a large area or under a bandage, talk with your child’s pediatrician first.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, rash, or any breathing problems — stop use and seek medical advice if these occur. Avoid letting your child lick or eat the product. These recommendations are based on the ingredient’s public safety summary, which shows low concerns but limited data specifically in young children.
