2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this plant extract is generally low risk when used in normal amounts in a finished skin product. Most safety reviews list only low-level concerns. That said, any plant extract can occasionally irritate sensitive skin or cause an allergic reaction in some children.
If you plan to use a product that contains this ingredient on your child: 1) Choose products made for children or labeled for sensitive skin. 2) Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before broader use. 3) Start with products that are rinse-off or low concentration rather than concentrated serums. 4) If your child has a history of eczema or very sensitive skin, consult your pediatrician before use.
Stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, swelling, hives, blistering, or your child complains of burning or itching. The public cosmetic safety database that reviewed this ingredient notes low-level allergy/irritation concerns — watch for those signs. Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin, and avoid the eye area. If a strong reaction occurs, seek medical care.
