5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, preteens), Hibiscus Flower Extract used on the skin is generally considered low risk. The ingredient database used for this review shows low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on development or reproduction.
Before using a new product with this extract on your child, do a small patch test: apply a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products made for children when possible and follow product directions. Avoid using on irritated or broken skin. If you see redness, itching, swelling, or any other reaction, stop use and rinse the area with water.
Although the ingredient database flags low concern overall, a small number of people can still have a skin reaction. Watch for signs of allergy (redness, rash, itching, swelling). Do not apply to cuts or open skin. If your child has a known plant allergy (for example to hibiscus or related plants), avoid products with this extract. These recommendations come from the supplied ingredient safety data used for this evaluation.
