5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and older), calendula flower oil is generally low risk when used on the skin in products made for kids. It’s a plant oil used to soothe skin and is not linked to major safety concerns in normal use.
Before using widely, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products made for children or labeled for sensitive skin, apply sparingly, avoid broken or irritated skin, keep it away from eyes and mouth, and stop use if you see redness, itching, or swelling. If your child uses many personal care products, check labels and ask your pediatrician because exposure from food or other products can add up.
Watch for allergic skin reactions (even though the risk is low). People with allergies to daisies, ragweed, or other members of the same plant family may be more likely to react. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes industry recommendations on safe concentrations and product types; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notes the ingredient can also be used in foods or additives (meaning multiple exposure sources are possible); Environment Canada has indicated it is not expected to be toxic. Also be aware some product certification programs require manufacturers to provide safety data for this ingredient before including it in certified products.
