5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, and teens), nettle leaf extract used on the skin is generally low risk when used in normal amounts. Safety listings show only low-level concerns.
If you plan to use a product with this ingredient on a child: do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm first, avoid applying to broken or very irritated skin, keep products away from the eyes and mouth, and stop use if any irritation appears. If your child has a known plant/herb allergy, choose a different product.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction such as redness, itching, swelling, or blisters. These warnings come from the ingredient safety summary used for this review, which notes a low allergy concern — low does not mean zero. If irritation continues or is severe, rinse the area and see a healthcare provider. Do not use on open wounds or on very young babies (infants) without medical advice.
