5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and up), aloe vera leaf water is usually safe on the skin. Most safety checks find only small concerns, but experts say it should be used in the right amounts and made to certain quality standards.
Use products made for kids or from trusted brands, apply a small amount to a patch of skin (inside forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction before using widely, avoid putting it on cuts or broken skin, stop use if you see redness, itching, swelling or other irritation, and keep products out of reach of children.
Industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note limits on concentration and possible impurities and also mention some missing safety data — so avoid raw or very concentrated aloe extracts and unbranded mixes. Although allergic reactions are uncommon, watch for skin irritation and discontinue use if it occurs. This ingredient is for skin use only — do not let children eat or drink it.
