Is this kid-friendly to use Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract?
ℹ️General Overview
For children aged 5 and older (school-age children, kids, older kids, teens), this plant extract is generally low risk when used on the skin in small amounts. It mostly shows low concerns in safety checks, but one study suggests it can act on hormone receptors, so we take a cautious approach.
✅What to Do
Use products with this ingredient sparingly on children 5 and up. Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before using more widely. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin, avoid full-body daily application, and stop use if the child develops redness, rash, or other irritation. If your child has a hormone-related health condition or is on hormone medication, check with your pediatrician before use.
⚠️Warnings
A published study (Extracts from Schizandra chinensis fruit activate estrogen receptors, 2004) is the reason for the small hormone-related concern. Because of that, avoid long-term, large-area, or frequent use on children. Low levels of concern were found for cancer, allergies, and reproductive toxicity in the provided safety information, so those are not the main issues here. If the product lists this extract near the top of the ingredient list (high concentration), or if you notice any changes in skin or health after use, stop and consult your child’s doctor.
