Safe for preschoolers to use Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract?
ā¹ļøGeneral Overview
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5) this plant extract is likely low risk when used in small amounts on the skin. Most hazards reported are low. There is a lab study that suggests a possible hormone-related effect, but that finding is from test-tube work and is considered a low concern.
ā What to Do
If you want to use a product that contains this extract on a 2- to 5-year-old: choose a product formulated for children, try a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours, only use a small amount and avoid large-area or daily heavy use, keep it away from broken skin and the eyes, and stop use if you see rash, swelling, or persistent irritation. If your child has a hormone-related condition or you are unsure, ask your pediatrician first.
ā ļøWarnings
Watch for any skin redness, itching, swelling, or other signs of irritation and stop use if these occur. The cautious note comes from a laboratory study titled "Extracts from Schizandra chinensis fruit activate estrogen receptors: a possible clue to its effects on nitric oxide-mediated vasorelaxation (2004-07-01)", which reported activation of estrogen receptors in tests. Other common concerns listed for this ingredient (cancer, allergies, developmental/reproductive toxicity) are rated low and are not the main focus here.
