5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and teens): this lettuce leaf extract is generally safe to use on the skin. The ingredient data shows very low concerns for cancer, allergies, reproductive effects and use limits.
Before using on your child’s skin, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Use products made for kids when possible, avoid putting the product on broken or inflamed skin, and keep it away from eyes and the inside of the mouth. If your child has a known lettuce allergy, avoid products containing this extract.
Watch for any signs of skin reaction — redness, swelling, itching, hives or blistering. The ingredient database flags low-level allergy concern, so stop use and call your child’s doctor if a reaction happens. Do not apply to open wounds or areas of severe eczema.
