Is this kid-friendly to use Mallow Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For kids 5 years and older, mallow extract is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a plant extract often added to creams and lotions to soothe and soften skin, and expert ingredient summaries rate it as low concern for health risks.
✅What to Do
Before using a new product on your child (school-age child, 5-year-old, preteen), do a small patch test: put a little on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products made for children's skin when possible, apply to clean, unbroken skin, and stop use right away if you see redness, swelling, itching, blistering, or any change in behavior after application. If your child has a known allergy to mallow or related plants, avoid it and talk to your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
A public cosmetic ingredient safety database reports only low concerns for cancer, allergies, and reproductive or developmental effects for mallow extract — so these are not common risks. The main thing to watch for is a local skin allergy or irritation. If your child has a rash, hives, or breathing problems after use, stop and seek medical help. Also avoid using on cuts or broken skin. Source: summary from a public cosmetic ingredient safety database.
