2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2-5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), lettuce leaf extract is generally low risk when used on the skin. The ingredient record flags only small concerns across several categories, so it is considered safe in normal cosmetic or skincare products at usual concentrations.
If you plan to use a product that contains this extract on your child: do a small patch test on a clean area (inside forearm) and wait 24 hours; avoid using on cuts, rashes, or raw skin; use products made for children when possible; apply a small amount first and watch for any change; stop use immediately if your child develops redness, itch, swelling or any unusual reaction.
The ingredient information provided lists only low-level concerns for cancer, allergy/immune effects, developmental or reproductive effects, and use restrictions — these are low concerns but come from the ingredient data supplied for this extract. Parents should watch for skin irritation or allergic reactions and keep products out of reach of children. If your child shows severe symptoms (difficulty breathing, swelling of face or lips, or spreading rash), seek medical help right away.
