5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children and older (5 years and up), dandelion leaf extract used on the skin is generally low risk. It’s a plant extract often included for calming and antioxidant benefits. Most children won’t have problems, but plant extracts can sometimes irritate sensitive skin.
Before using a product that contains dandelion leaf extract on your child, do a small patch test: apply a tiny amount to the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products made for children when possible, avoid applying to broken skin, and keep the product away from eyes and mouth. Stop use if you see redness, itching, swelling, or any other skin change. If a strong reaction occurs, seek medical help.
Watch for skin redness, itching, hives, or swelling — these are signs of an allergic or irritation reaction. If your child has known allergies to plants in the daisy family (Asteraceae), be especially cautious. This guidance is based on a public cosmetic ingredient safety listing that shows low overall concerns but notes that plant extracts can cause skin sensitivity in some people.
