Safe for preschoolers to use Matricaria Recutita Flower Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For children 2-5 years (toddlers, young children), chamomile flower extract is usually safe on the skin when used in normal amounts found in everyday lotions, wipes or shampoos. The biggest risk is skin allergy, especially if your child has ragweed or pollen allergies or very sensitive skin.
✅What to Do
Before using a new product, do a simple patch test: put a small amount on the inside of the wrist or behind the ear and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Start with small amounts and use products made for children when possible. If your child has known pollen or plant allergies or eczema, choose products without chamomile or ask your pediatrician first.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and rinse well if you see redness, swelling, bumps, blisters, or the child complains of itching or burning. Seek medical help right away if there is any trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat. These warnings come from reported allergic reactions and limited human case reports and reviews (sources: European Chemicals Agency; Cosmetic Ingredient Review; a 2016 review of chamomile studies; a 2010 study of herbal use in pregnancy). Also note some manufacturers do not include this extract without extra safety data, so check product labels.
