5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and older), banana fruit extract is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s commonly added to lotions and other skin products to moisturize and soothe, and the ingredient information provided shows low concern for health problems.
If you want to use a product with banana fruit extract on your child: do a small patch test first (apply a tiny amount to the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours); use products made for children or gentle, fragrance-free formulas; apply only to intact skin (avoid open cuts); use a small amount at first; stop use if the child develops redness, itching, swelling, or other irritation; and talk to your pediatrician if you’re unsure.
Although the ingredient data lists allergy risk as low, some people can still be allergic to bananas or plant extracts. Avoid this ingredient if your child has a known banana allergy. Watch for signs of a reaction (redness, itching, hives, swelling, or breathing trouble) and seek medical help for breathing problems or severe swelling. Also keep skin products out of reach so young children don’t eat them; the ingredient data notes low concern overall but these practical precautions remain important.
