5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, older children), coconut milk used on the skin is generally safe and has low concern for serious health effects.
Do a small patch test first: put a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours. Use products with coconut milk as directed and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Start with a small amount and avoid products that also contain strong fragrances or unnecessary additives. If your child has a known coconut or tree‑nut allergy, check with your pediatrician before use.
Stop use and rinse if you see redness, itching, swelling, or a rash. If any of these occur, contact your pediatrician. The ingredient safety database used for this evaluation reports low concern for cancer, allergy, and developmental effects, but allergic reactions are still possible in sensitive children.
