ℹ️General Overview
For school-age children (5 years and older), marshmallow root extract is generally safe to use on the skin. It is usually used to soothe and moisturize, and official assessments find it unlikely to cause harm.
✅What to Do
Before using a new product on your child (ages 5+), do a small patch test: put a tiny amount on the inside of the arm and watch for 24 hours. Use products made for children when possible, avoid applying to broken skin, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and stop use if your child develops redness, itching, swelling, or a rash. If your child has a known plant allergy, check with your pediatrician first.
⚠️Warnings
Government safety assessments (Environment Canada) list it as not expected to be toxic, and documented concerns for cancer, allergies or reproductive harm are low. Still, some children may have a skin allergy to plant extracts—watch for any signs of irritation and discontinue use immediately if they occur. If irritation is severe or persistent, contact your child’s healthcare provider.
