5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, older children), wheat sprout extract is usually low risk when used on normal skin. It’s a plant extract used to help condition skin. Scientific data about this specific ingredient are limited, but the information we do have shows low concern for cancer or developmental problems.
If you plan to use a product that lists this ingredient on a child aged 5 or older: do a small patch test first on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Don’t put the product on broken or irritated skin. If your child has a known wheat allergy, talk with your child’s pediatrician before use or avoid the product. Start with a small amount and watch the skin for any reaction.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, or a rash after applying the product — these are signs of a local allergic or irritant reaction. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review has noted that there are not enough data to fully determine safety for this ingredient, so extra caution is advised. If you see any worrying reaction, stop use and contact your child’s healthcare provider.
