2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For preschoolers (ages 2-5) chamomile extract is usually safe on the skin and is commonly used to calm dryness or redness. Serious risks are uncommon but a small number of people can be sensitive to it.
Before using a new chamomile product on your child, put a tiny amount on the inside of their forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Use products made for children, avoid broken or irritated skin, keep creams away from the eyes and mouth, and do not let your child eat the product. If any redness, swelling, or breathing problems happen, stop use and call your doctor.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (red rash, swelling, itching, trouble breathing). Parents of children who are allergic to plants in the daisy family should avoid chamomile. These cautions come from safety reviews and agency notes (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the European Chemicals Agency) and from human case reports cited in scientific reviews. There are also some noted data gaps, so if your child has unusual symptoms after use, seek medical advice.
