1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is not known to cause cancer or major allergic problems, but it is restricted or banned in some regions for use in cosmetics. Because toddlers have more sensitive skin, it’s safer to avoid it when possible.
If you are shopping for products for a toddler, prefer items that do not list C15-19 Alkane. If a product contains it, look for clear safety information from the maker that the product is intended for young children, or choose an alternative product. Do not use on broken or irritated skin and avoid frequent repeated use. If you must try a product with this ingredient, test a very small area first and watch for redness or irritation.
This ingredient is flagged because of regulatory restrictions under the EU Cosmetics Directive and because some product certification programs restrict its use without extra safety substantiation. Watch for product labels and avoid cosmetics that list C15-19 Alkane for toddlers. Stop use and talk to your pediatrician if you see any rash, redness, swelling, or other skin changes after using a product containing it.
