2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For preschoolers and young children (ages 2-5), black currant bud extract is generally low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin. There is a small chance of mild irritation or sensitivity.
Before using a new product on your child, do a patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products made for children when possible. Apply only to intact skin, avoid the eyes and mouth, and keep products out of reach. If your child uses other active skincare (like strong acids or prescription treatments), avoid mixing them in the same routine because this extract may increase how much other ingredients get through the skin.
The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) notes limited evidence that this extract can cause mild irritation and can act as a penetration enhancer (increasing absorption). Watch for redness, itching, swelling, or any new rash. Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin. If a reaction occurs, stop use and consult your child’s healthcare provider.
