Danger Score: 1 (Lower is safer)
Quick Answer: Azadirachta Indica Extract is generally considered safe for 5+ year old children when used in topical products. Kids may have different tolerance levels.

ℹ️General Overview

For school-age children (5 years and older), neem leaf extract used on the skin is generally low risk when used in normal amounts. There are some animal studies that showed effects only at high doses, but usual skincare amounts are unlikely to cause those problems.

What to Do

Before using a new product on your child, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products as directed, avoid applying to cuts or broken skin, keep away from eyes and mouth, and stop use if the child develops redness, swelling, itching, or any unusual symptoms. Don’t let children eat or lick the product. If your child has a thyroid condition or you have health concerns, check with your pediatrician first.

⚠️Warnings

Animal studies cited show possible thyroid effects (mouse study) and limited reproductive and genetic findings at high doses — these are from laboratory studies at much higher exposures than normal topical use. Also, the ingredient can cause skin reactions in some people. If you see rash, blisters, swelling, breathing trouble, or other severe signs, stop use and seek medical help. Because concentrated neem extracts can harm wildlife, avoid pouring unused concentrated product down drains or into the environment.
