5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and older), elderberry seed oil used on the skin is generally safe. The safety listing we reviewed shows only low-level concerns.
Before using on your child, do a patch test: put a small amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Use a small amount on clean, unbroken skin. Stop use if your child gets any redness, itching, swelling, or other signs of irritation. Choose products made for children when possible and avoid applying near the eyes or mouth.
The safety listing we reviewed notes low-level concerns for cancer, allergies and developmental effects — these are rated low but worth a quick check. Most important: avoid use on broken or inflamed skin, watch for allergic reactions (redness, itching, swelling), and keep the oil away from your child’s mouth and eyes. If your child has a known plant or seed oil allergy, do not use it and consult your child’s healthcare provider.
