5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older, plantain leaf extract is usually safe when used on the skin. The safety listings show low concern for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects. Most kids will not have problems, but a small number can get skin irritation.
Before using a product with this extract on your child, do a small patch test: apply a little where the skin is thin (inside of the forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness, swelling, itching, or rash. Use a small amount at first and avoid applying to cuts or open wounds. Keep products away from eyes and mouth. If your child has known plant allergies or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before use.
