2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), this plant root extract is generally low risk when used on the skin. Most people tolerate it well, but some children can get a skin reaction.
Before using a new product with this ingredient on your child, put a small amount on the inside of their forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Use only a small amount the first few times, avoid broken or irritated skin, keep products away from the eyes and mouth, and don’t introduce several new products at once.
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, blisters, or hives. If any of these happen, stop use and wash the area, and contact your pediatrician if it’s severe. Note: a safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) says there isn’t a lot of data available, so be extra careful if your child has eczema, sensitive skin, or known plant allergies.
