2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), nettle leaf extract used on the skin is generally low risk when used in normal amounts. It is a plant extract and the safety data provided rates its concerns as low.
Before using a new product on a young child, put a small dab on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Use on clean, unbroken skin only. Start with products made for children or plain, fragrance-free formulas. If your child has a known plant allergy, avoid this ingredient and check with your child’s doctor.
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, bumps, or hives after applying — these are signs of an allergic or skin reaction. The provided safety data lists allergies as a possible concern (low level), so stop use and wash the area if you see any of these signs and contact your pediatrician if it is severe or spreads. Avoid using on cuts, scrapes, or irritated skin.
