For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and teens), magnolol used on the skin is likely low risk when it is a small part of a lotion or cream. The available safety information shows low concern for cancer, allergy, and effects on growth or reproduction. However, direct studies in children are limited.
If you try a product with magnolol on your child: 1) choose products made for children or gentle formulations, 2) do a patch test first on a small area (inner forearm) and wait 24–48 hours, 3) use a small amount and avoid putting it on broken or irritated skin, 4) keep it away from the eyes and mouth, 5) stop use if you see redness, swelling, itching, or a rash, and 6) talk to your pediatrician before use if your child has eczema, very sensitive skin, or takes medicines for skin conditions.
The provided safety data lists low concerns overall, but allergic reactions can still happen. Watch for any redness, swelling, itchy rash, breathing trouble, or swelling of the face — stop use and seek medical help if these occur. Also avoid swallowing the product and keep all cosmetics out of reach of children. If the product contains other ingredients (fragrance, preservatives), those may cause irritation even if magnolol itself is low risk (source: the provided safety data).
