5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids 5 years and older (children, school-age kids and teens), oat kernel oil is generally gentle and safe to use on the skin. It is mainly used to soften and calm dry or irritated skin.
Before using on your child, put a small amount on the inside of their forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or a rash. Use products made for children when possible, avoid the eyes, and use a small amount at first. If your child has broken skin or a known oat or grain allergy, skip products with oat oil unless your doctor says it’s okay.
There are some noted gaps in industry safety reviews about safe concentrations and impurities (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also, allergic reactions are possible for people sensitive to oats or grains — stop use and see a pediatrician if you notice itching, redness, swelling or a rash. Some product verification programs may restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide extra safety information.
