2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), this plant extract is generally low risk when used in normal skincare products. It is used to calm skin and provide antioxidant benefits. Because there is limited research specifically in young children, we recommend being careful.
Use products with small amounts of this ingredient and those labeled gentle or formulated for children. Do a patch test first: apply a tiny amount on the inside of the child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Avoid putting it on broken, sore, or irritated skin. Keep products away from the child’s eyes and mouth. If any redness, swelling, itchiness, or rash appears, stop use and rinse the area; consult your pediatrician if it’s severe or spreads.
Watch for allergic skin reactions (redness, swelling, itch). Some industry review bodies note recommendations or restrictions on how this ingredient is used, and certain product certification programs require manufacturers to show safety data before allowing it—so prefer products from reputable brands that provide safety information. Do not use on open wounds or inflamed skin, and do not let young children ingest the product.
