Use products that list this ingredient exactly as the label directs. Before using on a large area, test a small patch (inside of the forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Don’t put it on broken skin or near the eyes and mouth. Keep products out of reach so toddlers cannot taste or swallow them.
