5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children (kids, school-age children, older children, teens) 5 years and older, chamomile flower extract is usually safe on the skin. Most people use it without problems, but a small number with daisy or ragweed allergies can get a rash or irritation.
Use products made for children or follow the product directions. Before using on a child’s face or large area, do a small patch test: put a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. If there’s no redness, swelling, itching or other reaction, it is likely okay to use. Do not use undiluted extracts; use only finished products. Avoid applying to broken or raw skin and keep away from the eyes and mouth. Stop use and wash the area if irritation appears.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction: redness, itching, raised bumps, swelling, or breathing difficulty. These risks come from regulatory and safety reviews (European Chemicals Agency, Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and a few clinical reports that noted possible but unclear nervous system or pregnancy-related findings. Also note that some product verification programs require extra safety evidence before this ingredient is allowed in verified products. If your child has known allergies to daisies, ragweed, or other plants in that family, avoid products with this extract or check with your child’s healthcare provider first.
