2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), mallow extract is generally safe to use on the skin. The safety information we have shows very low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or development.
Use products made for children or labeled gentle. Before using widely, test a small patch on the child's inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use a small amount, avoid broken or very sore skin, and keep creams or lotions away from the eyes and mouth.
Although the ingredient data lists allergy risk as low, some children can still be sensitive. If your child has a known allergy to plants in the mallow family (or has had reactions to plant extracts), avoid use. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or if the child seems uncomfortable. These notes come from the ingredient safety data provided for this extract (low concern listings).
