2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), this root extract is generally considered low risk for skin products. However, there is limited research specifically in young children, so some extra caution is sensible.
If you plan to use a product that lists this ingredient on a 2–5 year old: 1) choose products made for kids when possible; 2) do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use; 3) avoid applying on cuts, scrapes, or irritated skin; 4) keep it away from the eyes and mouth; 5) use the smallest amount needed and do not apply frequently until you know the child tolerates it.
Watch for any signs of skin reaction — redness, swelling, itching, rash, blisters, or hives — and stop use immediately if these occur. If breathing problems, swelling of the face or throat, or a severe reaction happens, seek emergency care. The provided ingredient record notes low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental/reproductive effects, but those are listed as low; the main practical concern for children is skin allergy or irritation. If the product is a concentrated extract or the ingredient list is unclear, avoid using it on young children and consult your pediatrician.
