For adults, Slippery Elm Bark Extract is generally safe when used on the skin. It’s a plant extract used to calm and moisturize skin and is rated with very low safety concerns.
Use products containing this extract as directed. Before full use, do a small patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or irritation. Stop use if you develop redness, itching, swelling, or a rash. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and want extra caution, ask your doctor.
Watch for allergic reactions or skin irritation — people with known tree or plant allergies are more likely to react. The ingredient’s safety listing in a public cosmetic ingredient database shows only low-level concerns, but limited data exist for pregnancy and breastfeeding, so consult a healthcare provider if concerned. If you get a strong reaction (severe swelling, difficulty breathing), seek medical help right away.
