✅What to Do

⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, stinging, rash, or swelling — irritation and allergy concerns are noted by industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). There is limited older evidence of possible mutagenic effects flagged by an environmental health agency, so avoid heavy or long-term use of high‑concentration products. A contamination concern (cyclotetrasiloxane) has been noted in ingredient reviews; choose reputable brands and products that state they test for impurities. If you are unsure, check with your child’s pediatrician before regular use.
