2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), meadowsweet leaf extract is considered very low risk when used on the skin in typical low concentrations. Public safety summaries list low concerns for cancer, allergies and reproductive effects.
Before using a product with this extract on a child, do a small patch test on an area like the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products formulated for children, avoid applying to broken or irritated skin, and keep it away from the eyes and mouth. If your child develops any redness, swelling, itching, or other reaction, stop use and wash the area with water. If you are unsure, check with your pediatrician.
Watch for allergic skin reactions (redness, swelling, hives, itching) — this is the main practical concern noted in the public ingredient safety summary even though it is rated low. Also be cautious if your child has a known sensitivity to aspirin or salicylates, because meadowsweet contains natural salicylate-like compounds; consult your doctor before use. If a prolonged rash or other worrying symptoms appear, seek medical advice.
