5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older, common yarrow used on the skin is generally low risk. It’s usually safe in small amounts in creams or lotions, but a few kids may get mild skin irritation or an allergy.
Before using a new product with yarrow on your child, do a small patch test on a clean area of skin and wait 24–48 hours. Use products made for children or those that list low concentrations. Don’t put yarrow-containing products on broken or irritated skin. If your child develops redness, itching, swelling or a rash, stop use and rinse the area; contact your pediatrician if it’s severe or spreads.
Reviewers note limited data and recommend some use limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Watch for signs of contact allergy or irritation. Be extra careful if your child has a known plant or pollen allergy; avoid use on deep cuts or open wounds. If you’re unsure, check with your child’s doctor before regular use.
