5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids 5 years and older, apple fruit extract in skin products is usually safe and considered low risk when used in normal creams, lotions, or cleansers.
Use products that are already formulated for children or gentle skin types. Don’t put undiluted apple extract directly on a child’s skin. Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before using more. Avoid applying near the eyes and on broken or irritated skin. If a product causes redness, itching, swelling, or any breathing trouble, stop use and contact your child’s healthcare provider.
Some safety reviews have found limited evidence that apple extract can irritate the eyes and that high doses caused irritation in animal studies (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review and European Chemicals Agency). One regulatory source has flagged it as “toxic or harmful” in certain contexts (source: European Chemicals Agency). Because of this, avoid concentrated or undiluted extracts and watch for signs of irritation or allergy. If you see any reaction, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
