5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids 5 and up (school-age children, kids, tweens, teens), this mushroom skin extract is likely safe when used in normal skin products. The safety review shows low concern for health harms, but specific studies in children are limited.
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on a child, test a small patch of skin on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itch. Use products made for children when possible, avoid putting the product on broken skin, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and start with a small amount. Stop use if any rash, swelling, or breathing trouble appears and seek medical help for severe reactions.
Watch for allergic skin reactions (redness, itching, swelling). The ingredient safety database used for this review lists the common concerns as low for cancer, allergies, developmental or reproductive harm, and use restrictions — but low concern is not zero, so monitor for reactions. Do not allow children to ingest the product and keep all cosmetics out of reach. Also check the full product label: other ingredients in the product may carry extra risks.
