2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For kids aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), olive leaf extract used on the skin is generally safe. The safety review showed low concerns for this ingredient, so most children can use products that contain it without problems.
Choose products made for young children. Before regular use, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use on intact (unbroken) skin only, at the lowest effective amount. If your child has very sensitive skin, pick fragrance-free and child-formulated products.
Although the safety listing shows low concern overall, watch for signs of irritation or allergy (redness, itching, swelling, hives). If any of these happen, stop use and rinse the area, and contact your pediatrician if it is serious. Avoid putting the product on cuts, scrapes, or very raw skin. Also be mindful that other ingredients in a product (fragrance, preservatives) can cause reactions even if olive leaf extract itself is low risk — the safety listing we reviewed notes the low concern for the extract itself.
