2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For preschoolers and young children (around 2–5 years old), this plant root extract is considered low risk for skin products. There’s limited direct testing in kids, but available safety listings show only low-level concerns.
If you want to use a product that includes this extract on your toddler: 1) Pick products made for children or with simple ingredient lists. 2) Do a patch test: put a small amount on the forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or irritation. 3) Use a small amount at first and avoid applying to broken, scratched, or irritated skin. 4) Keep the product away from eyes and mouth. 5) Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, blisters, or if your child seems bothered.
A public skin-ingredient safety database notes low-level concerns for allergies and other issues — these are listed as low, not high, concerns. Still, watch for allergic reactions or irritation (redness, itching, swelling), especially if your child has sensitive skin, eczema, or known plant allergies. If your child has a history of severe allergic reactions, consult your pediatrician before use.
