For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids, older children, young children), Boswellia Serrata Extract is generally safe when used on normal skin in creams, lotions or oils. The supplied safety information shows low concern for cancer, allergy or developmental harm.
Before using a new product on your child's skin, do a small patch test: put a little on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use only on unbroken skin. Start with a small amount and stop use if you see redness, itchiness, swelling or other irritation. Keep products away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has known allergies to tree resins or frankincense-type materials, check with your pediatrician before use. Do not let children under 5 use products containing this extract without medical advice.
Watch for signs of a contact allergy or skin irritation (redness, rash, swelling, blistering). Though the provided ingredient safety data shows low concern for allergies, plant resins can still cause reactions in some people — stop use and seek medical advice if signs worsen or breathing difficulty occurs. Avoid use on broken or irritated skin and avoid ingestion. These precautions are based on the provided ingredient safety information.
