5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids), viola tricolor extract in skin products is generally low risk. Most concerns are rated low, and the small amount in creams or lotions is unlikely to cause harm for most children.
Before using a new product on your child, do a small patch test on the inside of their forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use the product only as directed and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. If your child has a history of seizures or a serious immune condition, talk with your pediatrician before using products that list this ingredient.
A few lab and animal studies reported immune-system activity and nervous-system effects with higher exposures — see the studies titled "Immunosuppressive activity of an aqueous Viola tricolor herbal extract (2014)" and "Anticonvulsant Activity of Viola tricolor against Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazol and Maximal Electroshock in Mice (2019)". These findings came from controlled studies and do not prove harm from normal topical use, but they are why you should avoid use on open wounds, stop use if your child develops a rash, and check with a doctor if your child has seizures or an immune disorder.
