Safe for preschoolers to use Yarrow Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
Usually okay for toddlers and preschoolers when used on small skin areas, but some kids can react with a skin allergy.
✅What to Do
Do a patch test first: put a tiny dot on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Start with a small amount and use only on small spots, a few times per week. Keep it away from the eyes, mouth, and any broken or irritated skin. Stop and rinse off if you see redness, itching, or a rash. Be extra careful if your child has hay fever to ragweed or daisies.
⚠️Warnings
A cosmetic safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) reports strong human evidence that this ingredient can cause skin allergy. The same source notes there are not enough data to judge all aspects of safety. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists it as used in foods, but says toxicity information is limited. Because of these points, keep use occasional and stop at any sign of irritation.
