5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and older), calendula extract is generally gentle and safe when put on the skin. It has a low risk profile in safety reviews and is commonly used to calm and soothe skin.
Use products that list calendula on the label and follow the product directions. Before regular use, test a small amount on the inside of the child's forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Use only on unbroken skin, avoid the eyes and mouth, and use the smallest amount needed for the problem. If your child has known sensitivities to plants or ragweed-type allergies, check with your pediatrician first.
Stop use and see a doctor if you notice redness, swelling, itching, blisters, or breathing problems after applying — these are signs of an allergic reaction. Some safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and similar industry panels) note data gaps and may recommend limits on concentration or product types, so prefer products with clear safety information and avoid items that do not list proper ingredients or instructions. Also be aware that some product standards restrict use of calendula unless manufacturers provide specific safety substantiation.
