5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, tweens and teens), this plant leaf extract is generally safe when applied to the skin. Most safety checks show low concern. The main possible issue is mild skin sensitivity in a few children.
Use products made for children or gentle formulations. Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before using more widely. Apply only to intact skin, avoid eyes and mouth, and start with a small amount. If your child has a known allergy to basil, mint, or similar plants, avoid products with this extract.
A reputable product-safety database flags a use restriction for some certified/verified product programs — this is a manufacturer-level restriction that asks for safety substantiation, not proof of common harm. Watch for any signs of skin irritation (redness, itching, swelling, rash). If irritation appears, stop use, wash the area with water, and consult your pediatrician if it doesn’t get better. Avoid using on broken skin or near the eyes or mouth.
