2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), rosehip (Rosa Canina) fruit oil is generally low risk when used on the skin in small amounts. It is a plant oil often used to soften skin and is not known to cause serious problems in this age group.
If you want to use a product with this oil on your child: 1) choose a product made for children or a mild formulation; 2) do a small patch test on a hand or inner arm and wait 24 hours; 3) use a small amount and avoid broken or inflamed skin; 4) keep product away from the mouth and eyes and store out of reach to prevent swallowing; 5) stop use if you see redness, rash, swelling, or your child seems uncomfortable and contact your pediatrician if symptoms are severe.
Government review (Environment Canada) noted possible effects on non-reproductive body systems, and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) points to limits and data gaps — that’s why we suggest limiting use and avoiding heavy or frequent full‑body application in young children. Allergic reactions are reported at low rates, but watch for rash, swelling, breathing trouble. If your child swallows the oil or has trouble breathing, seek emergency care.
