ℹ️General Overview

For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age, teens), green tea leaf extract is usually safe on the skin. It’s used to calm and protect skin. Most children won’t have a problem, but some can get a skin allergy or irritation.

✅What to Do

If you want to use a product with this ingredient on your child: pick products made for ages 5+, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours, start with products that list the ingredient in low amounts, avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin, keep away from eyes and mouth, and stop use if there is redness, itching or swelling.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (redness, itching, hives, swelling). Industry reviewers (IFRA and CIR) have noted possible allergen or immune-related reactions and some programs limit concentrations unless safety is shown. If your child has eczema or a known tea/plant allergy, avoid products with this ingredient. If breathing difficulty or a severe reaction occurs, seek emergency care.

Immune system: This ingredient is reported as a human allergen by the International Fragrance Association and flagged for immune/allergy concern by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. That means some people — including children — can have allergic reactions when their skin meets this extract.
Irritant: Because it is identified as a human allergen, contact can cause skin redness, itching, or rashes. The International Fragrance Association lists it as a known allergen, so it can act as a skin irritant for sensitive or young skin.
Eczema: Allergic or irritant reactions to this extract can trigger or make eczema worse in babies and children. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the International Fragrance Association note allergy risk, which can worsen eczema-prone skin.
