2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), vanilla extract used on the skin is usually low risk. Most kids won’t have a problem, but a small number can get skin irritation or an allergic rash.
If you plan to use a product that lists Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract: 1) Do a patch test first — put a tiny bit on the inside of the child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. 2) Use only a small amount and avoid the eyes, mouth, and broken or irritated skin. 3) Prefer products labeled for sensitive skin or without added fragrances if your child has a history of eczema or allergies. 4) Stop use right away if you see redness, swelling, blisters, itching, or any breathing trouble, and contact your pediatrician.
There are reports of limited skin and eye irritation and some case reports of allergic reactions (noted by safety reviewers and a European chemicals agency). Industry safety reviewers also note that its use in cosmetics may come with limits on concentration or area of use. Because of those reports, watch closely for skin reactions and avoid use near the eyes and on broken skin. If a reaction happens, follow the steps above and seek medical care if it is severe.
