2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and young children), this wheat sprout extract is generally low risk when used on the skin. The safety summary we were given shows low concerns across cancer, allergy, and development, but reviewers also note limited data overall.
If you use a lotion or cream containing this ingredient on your child, first apply a small amount to a patch of skin (inside forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Avoid using products with this ingredient on broken skin. Do not use on or near the mouth, eyes, or open cuts. If your child has a known wheat or gluten allergy, avoid products with wheat-derived ingredients unless your doctor says it is okay.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, bumps, or blisters after using the product — stop use immediately and see a doctor if these happen. The safety information provided also notes that there isn’t enough data to be fully certain about safety for all uses (a formal ingredient review listed insufficient data), so be extra cautious with regular or heavy use. If your child has a diagnosed wheat allergy or severe skin sensitivity, avoid this ingredient and ask your pediatrician.
