5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and older), feverfew flower extract is usually safe when used on the skin. Most safety checks rate it as low concern. Still, plant extracts can sometimes cause irritation in children with plant or pollen allergies.
Before putting a product containing feverfew on your child, do a small patch test: apply a tiny amount to the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Avoid using on broken, scraped, or red skin. Use products made for kids when possible, and stop use if you see any redness, swelling, itching, or other reaction. If your child has a known allergy to ragweed, daisies, or similar plants, avoid products with this extract unless a doctor says it’s okay.
Watch for any rash, itching, swelling, or breathing difficulty after use. The ingredient data shows only low allergy concerns overall, but cross-reactions with daisy/ragweed allergies can occur in sensitive children. If a reaction happens, wash the area, stop use, and seek medical advice. Remember this evaluation is for the ingredient by itself — full product formulas may change safety.
