5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and up), aloe vera leaf powder used on the skin is usually gentle and low risk. Most safety summaries rate its concerns as low.
Before using on a child, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products as directed, avoid putting it on broken, inflamed, or infected skin, and keep it away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has sensitive skin, use a small amount first. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, or a rash. For large-area or long-term use, check with your child’s pediatrician.
Watch for signs of skin allergy or irritation — redness, itching, swelling or blistering — and stop use if these occur. Some older animal studies reported reproductive effects at moderate doses (noted in cosmetic industry reviews), and some product-verification programs require manufacturers to show safety data before including this ingredient. If your child has a known allergy to plants in the aloe family, avoid use and consult your pediatrician.
