5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, children, and teens), this evening primrose seed extract is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts.
Before regular use, test a small drop or pea-sized amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Use products as directed, avoid putting them on cuts or very irritated skin, and keep products out of your child’s eyes and mouth.
A major cosmetics ingredient database notes only low-level concerns for allergy and other effects, so serious problems are unlikely. Still, do not use this ingredient on a child who has a known allergy to evening primrose or related plants. Stop use and talk to your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, itching, or any new skin symptoms after applying the product.
