5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids 5 years and older, plantain leaf extract is generally safe to use on the skin. Ingredient records show only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies and effects on growth or reproduction. Most children can use products with this extract without problems.
If you want to use a product that contains plantain leaf extract on a child (age 5+): - Do a small patch test first: put a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness, itching, or swelling. - Use the product only as directed and avoid applying to broken, scraped, or infected skin. - Keep products out of children’s eyes and mouth. Rinse with water if contact occurs. - Read the full product label because other ingredients in the product might change safety (fragrances or preservatives can cause sensitivity).
Ingredient safety records note only low-level concerns for cancer and allergy, but allergic reactions can still occur. Watch for redness, itching, swelling, blistering, or any new skin irritation after use. If you see a rash or any reaction that spreads, stop use and consult your child’s healthcare provider. If the product is intended for infants or babies under 5 years, follow pediatric guidance before use.
