ℹ️General Overview

For adults (including teens), arnica flower extract applied to the skin is usually low risk. The main worry is that some people can get a skin allergy or irritation.

What to Do

Before using a new product with arnica, do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Don’t put it on cuts, open wounds or broken skin. Stop use and wash the area if you get redness, itching, swelling or a rash. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medicines that affect bleeding, check with your health care provider before use.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for allergic skin reactions — a cosmetic safety review found strong evidence that arnica can be a skin allergen. There are also some gaps in safety data according to the same review. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists it as safe only in limited food uses, which is different from applying concentrated extracts to the skin. Avoid use on broken skin and do not ingest concentrated arnica products.

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Immune system: A cosmetic safety review found strong evidence that arnica flower extract can cause skin-triggered immune reactions. A safety database also flags moderate concern for allergies and immune effects, so children could have allergic responses after skin contact.
Irritant: The same safety review describes arnica flower extract as a human skin toxicant or allergen, meaning it can cause redness, itching, or rashes on contact. Because it is applied to the skin, it can irritate sensitive baby or child skin.
Eczema: Because arnica flower extract can cause allergy and skin irritation, it may trigger or make eczema and similar skin conditions worse in children who are prone to them. Safety notes list a moderate concern for allergic skin reactions.
