For adults: Plantain (Plantago major) is generally safe to put on adult skin. The safety summary provided rates it as very low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on development or pregnancy. It’s often used to calm redness and irritation.
Before using on larger areas, do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours. If you see no redness, itching, swelling or other reaction, it is likely fine to use as directed. Avoid getting it in the eyes or on mucous membranes. If the product contains other ingredients, check those too. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and worried, ask your healthcare provider.
Stop use and see a doctor if you get persistent redness, swelling, intense itching, blisters, or any breathing difficulty after using a product with plantain. The supplied ingredient safety summary flags allergy risk as low, but allergic reactions can still occur in some people. Also avoid using on deep or severe open wounds unless a product specifically says it is for that use. (Source: provided ingredient safety summary.)
