5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids and teens), chamomile flower extract is generally safe on the skin. Most kids will not have problems, but a small number can get an allergic rash.
If you try a product with this ingredient on your child: 1) Do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use. 2) Use products made for children or labeled for sensitive skin when possible. 3) Avoid putting it on broken skin, rashes, or mucous areas. 4) If your child has a known allergy to ragweed or similar plants, choose a product without chamomile.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, or a rash after first use — these are signs of an allergic reaction (reported by a European chemicals agency). Some safety reviews note the ingredient should be used within certain concentration limits in cosmetics (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). A few human case reports have suggested unclear effects on the nervous system or pregnancy outcomes — the evidence is limited but worth noting if someone is pregnant or has neurological concerns (from published case studies and reviews).
