2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children ages 2–5 (toddlers, preschoolers, young children), this plant root extract is generally low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin. Safety listings mark most concerns as low. Rarely, some children may get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
If you plan to use a product with this extract on a 2–5 year old: 1) Do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours for any reaction. 2) Use the product only on intact, unbroken skin and avoid eyes and mouth. 3) Start with a small amount and do not use frequently until you know the child tolerates it. 4) Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, itching, blisters, or any new skin change. 5) Keep products out of reach and do not let children eat or lick them.
Safety listings for this ingredient note low-level concerns for cancer, allergy and reproductive effects, but the main practical risk for a child is skin irritation or allergy. The warning comes from the ingredient’s safety profile and reported reactions in the literature. Avoid use on broken or inflamed skin, avoid getting it in the eyes or mouth, and discontinue immediately if the child develops any rash or swelling. If a strong reaction occurs, seek medical care.
