5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older this evening primrose flower extract is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a plant-based extract and the safety information available lists only low-level concerns.
Before putting a new product with this extract all over your child's skin, do a small patch test: put a tiny bit on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. If there is no redness, swelling, or strong itching, it is usually okay to use. Use on unbroken skin only, avoid the eyes and mouth, and start with small amounts. If your child has known plant or flower allergies, consider avoiding products with this ingredient.
The ingredient safety database notes low-level concerns mainly for allergic reactions and irritation. Watch for any redness, itching, rash, swelling, or breathing trouble after use. If these happen, stop use and seek medical care. Do not apply to open cuts or infected skin. If you are unsure, check with your child's healthcare provider.
