5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, children, tweens), vanilla extract on the skin is usually safe. Most safety reviews show low concern overall, but a few people can get skin or eye irritation or an allergic reaction.
Use products made for children when possible. Before using a new product, do a small patch test on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Avoid putting products with vanilla extract on broken or very sensitive skin and keep them away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has known fragrance allergies or very sensitive skin, choose fragrance-free options. Stop use and talk to your pediatrician if you see a rash, swelling, or breathing trouble.
Watch for skin redness, itching, swelling, or eye irritation — limited evidence of these effects has been reported by safety reviewers and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and in reviews by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR). Also note that some product safety programs limit use of this ingredient unless makers provide supporting safety data, so prefer products that clearly list ingredients and safety information.
