ℹ️General Overview
For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids), arnica flower extract used on the skin is usually low risk for long-term harm but it can cause allergic reactions or irritation in some kids.
✅What to Do
Before using a product with arnica on a child, put a small amount on the inside of the forearm and watch for 24 hours. If no redness, itching or swelling appears, you can try a small amount on the intended area. Never put arnica on open wounds, broken skin, or near the eyes or mouth. If a rash or swelling appears, stop use, wash the area with water, and contact your child’s health care provider if it gets worse or involves breathing or facial swelling.
⚠️Warnings
A review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes that arnica can be a skin allergen and irritant — watch for rash, itching, redness, blistering or swelling. There are also some data gaps on overall safety, so be cautious and patch-test first. Avoid use on cuts, broken skin, or in younger children (infants and toddlers).
