ℹ️General Overview
For kids aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), polyphenols used on the skin are generally safe. They are natural plant antioxidants and have a low-risk profile in safety databases.
✅What to Do
Use products made for children that list polyphenols as an ingredient. Apply a small amount first on the inner forearm (patch test) and wait 24 hours to check for any redness or irritation. Don’t put products with polyphenols on broken or raw skin, and avoid getting them in the eyes or mouth. If your child has sensitive skin, start with a small amount or choose a product designed for sensitive skin.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of skin allergy or irritation (redness, swelling, itching, rash). Although large-scale safety records show low concern for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects, individual allergic reactions are still possible. If you see a reaction, stop use and talk to your child’s healthcare provider. This advice is based on the ingredient’s public safety profile listed with the ingredient record.
