For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this yerba mate leaf extract used on the skin is generally safe. The safety information shows only very low concerns, and problems are uncommon with normal topical use.
Use products made for kids and follow the product directions. Before using more widely, do a small patch test on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours. Do not put the product where your child can lick or eat it. Avoid applying to cuts, scrapes, or irritated skin. If your child has sensitive skin, start with a product that has fewer ingredients.
Watch for signs of skin allergy or irritation (redness, rash, swelling, itching). If you see these, stop using the product right away and rinse the area; seek medical care if swelling spreads or breathing changes. The safety listing provided for this ingredient notes very low concerns overall, but because young children can be more sensitive, keep an eye out for reactions and avoid ingestion or use on broken skin.
