2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this ingredient is usually safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. It is a plant seed extract used to moisturize and condition skin and the safety information provided shows low concern for serious harms.
Before using a new product on a 2–5 year old, do a small patch test: put a tiny amount on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Use products made for children or a small amount of a regular product. Avoid putting it on cuts, scrapes, or near the eyes and mouth. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, blistering, or the child reports itching or burning. If the child has a known plant or flower allergy, check with your pediatrician before use.
The provided safety data lists the ingredient’s concerns (cancer, allergies, developmental effects, use limits) as low, but allergic skin reactions can still happen. Watch for hives, swelling, spreading redness, or difficulty breathing — if these occur, stop use and seek medical care right away. Also be careful with products that mix this extract with other active ingredients; those other ingredients may carry their own risks. Keep all products out of reach of children.
