ℹ️General Overview
For children 5 years and older, propolis used on the skin is generally low risk. Safety references say it is not expected to be toxic and is not thought to build up in the body. Common concerns like cancer or developmental effects are listed as low.
✅What to Do
If you try a product with propolis on your child, do a small patch test first on a tiny area of skin and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Use a small amount, avoid putting it on broken or irritated skin, and keep it away from eyes and mouth. Stop use and wash the area if you see any irritation.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for allergic skin reactions (redness, itching, swelling). While overall concern is low, people with known bee or bee-product allergies are more likely to react. The ingredient safety references (Environment Canada) classify propolis as not expected to be toxic and not persistent; consult your pediatrician if you are unsure or if your child has a history of allergies.
