5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 and older (kids, school-age children, preteens), carrot root extract is usually safe to use on the skin. Most safety information shows low concern. A small number of people can get a skin reaction.
Before using a new product, put a small amount on a patch of skin (like the inside of the forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Use products meant for children when possible, apply to unbroken skin only, and use the smallest amount that works. If your child has a known allergy to carrots or similar plants (for example celery or parsley), avoid products with this ingredient.
Watch for skin reactions. A regulatory body (European Chemicals Agency) notes limited evidence of skin allergy or irritation — if you see redness, itching, swelling, or a rash, stop use and wash the area. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin and avoid getting the product in the eyes. If your child has trouble breathing or a severe reaction, get medical help right away. General concerns like cancer or developmental effects are reported as low and are not the main issue here.
