5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 and up, calendula flower extract is usually safe and used to calm and protect the skin. Most kids won’t have a problem, but a small number can get a skin reaction.
Before using a new calendula product on your child’s face or large areas, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products made for kids when possible, follow the label directions, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and stop use if redness, itching, swelling, or a rash appears.
A consumer safety program lists this ingredient as restricted unless a maker provides extra documentation, and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) notes there are recommended concentration limits and some data gaps. Most importantly, avoid calendula on children who have known allergies to plants in the daisy (Asteraceae) family. If you see any skin reaction, rinse the area, stop use, and contact your pediatrician.
