ℹ️General Overview
For adults: stinging nettle used on the skin is usually safe. Long-term or serious risks are not reported, but some adults can get mild skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
✅What to Do
Before using on a large area, do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours. If you notice redness, itching, or burning, stop using it. Do not apply to broken, raw, or heavily irritated skin. Follow the product directions and, if you are pregnant or nursing, ask your healthcare provider if unsure.
⚠️Warnings
A respected skin-safety database lists low concern for cancer, reproductive effects and other major issues, but it also notes the possibility of mild allergic reactions. Watch for redness, swelling, hives, or increased itching after use — stop using and wash the area if these occur. If you have a known allergy to nettle or similar plants, avoid this ingredient. Keep away from eyes and other sensitive membranes.
