5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids, tweens, teens), papaya fruit extract applied to the skin is generally safe. Official ingredient listings rate the main concerns as low. Most children can use products that contain it without problems.
Before using a new product on your child, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Use products as directed on the label and from trusted brands. Stop use if your child develops redness, swelling, itching, blisters, or other signs of irritation. If a strong reaction occurs, see a healthcare provider.
Watch for allergic or irritation signs (redness, swelling, hives). People with known papaya sensitivity or enzyme allergies may react and should avoid it. Some certification or verification programs restrict this ingredient and industry reviewers recommend following concentration and manufacturing guidance—ask the brand if you’re unsure. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin and do not use this ingredient on children younger than 5 without medical advice. The recommendation about restrictions and safe use comes from ingredient review and product verification guidance noted in the ingredient listing.
