5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 years and older, aloe vera leaf extract is generally safe to use on the skin and has low reported risks. It’s commonly found in lotions and creams and usually helps soothe skin.
Before full use, do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products as directed, avoid applying to large areas repeatedly or in very high concentrations, do not let children eat or lick the product, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, itching or any new rash. Prefer products that list concentrations or that state they follow safety guidelines.
Watch for allergic or irritant reactions (redness, itching, swelling) and stop use if these occur. Avoid using on broken, raw, or heavily sunburned skin. Some industry safety reviews recommend limits on concentration and purity (Cosmetic Ingredient Review), and a few peer‑reviewed animal studies reported systemic effects at moderate oral doses — so do not let children ingest aloe products and avoid very concentrated forms. If a product does not list safety or concentration information, be cautious; some safety verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless manufacturers provide supporting safety data (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
