5+ year old children • Skin contact product
Bilberry extract is a berry plant extract used on skin for its antioxidant effects. For school-age children (5 years and up), it is generally low risk when used on the skin.
Do a small patch test on the inside of the child’s forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Use products as directed and choose formulations made for children when possible. Don’t put products containing this extract on cuts, scrapes, or red/irritated skin. If the child is using a leave-on product, start with a small amount and watch the skin over the next day.
The ingredient safety listing shows low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive/developmental effects — meaning these are not flagged as major risks but are tracked. The main thing to watch for is an allergic reaction: redness, swelling, itching, hives, or blistering. If any of these happen, stop use and contact your child’s doctor. Also avoid use if your child has a known berry allergy. Do not use this on infants younger than 5 years unless advised by a pediatrician.
