2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), plantain leaf extract is generally safe for skin. The safety data available shows only low-level concerns, and most children tolerate it well when it’s used in creams, lotions or balms.
Use products that are made for young children. Before regular use, put a tiny amount on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Avoid applying it near the eyes, mouth, or on open cuts. Use a small amount at first and add only one new product at a time so you can tell if something causes irritation.
Although the safety database lists only low concerns, some children can be sensitive to plant extracts. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, a rash, or other signs of irritation. If your child has a known plant allergy or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before use. These cautions come from the ingredient safety data used for this evaluation, which notes low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental/reproductive effects, and use restrictions.
