5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, older children, teens), aloe vera leaf juice used on the skin is generally safe and low risk. It is commonly used to soothe and hydrate skin in lotions and wipes.
Choose products labeled for children or gentle skin; do a small patch test on a quiet area of skin (inside forearm) before wider use; avoid using on deep or open wounds; do not let the child eat the product; stop use if you see redness, swelling, blistering, or ongoing itching and talk to your pediatrician.
Watch for allergic skin reactions (redness, itching, rash). Industry safety reviews note rare allergy and recommend limits on concentration and controlling impurities (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Animal studies have shown reproductive effects only at much higher doses than normal skin use (Cosmetic Ingredient Review); this is a theoretical concern and not evidence of risk from normal topical products. Also note that some manufacturers restrict use or require testing, so check product labels for low-aloin or child-friendly formulations.
