✅What to Do
Before using a new product on your child, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Use products made for young children when possible, avoid applying to open cuts or irritated skin, and keep the product away from eyes and mouth. If the product contains added fragrance or other active ingredients, check those labels too.
⚠️Warnings
Public ingredient safety listings used for this evaluation show low concerns for cancer, allergies/immunotoxicity, developmental or reproductive effects, and use restrictions. Even so, stop use and rinse the area if you see redness, swelling, itching, blistering, or other signs of irritation. If your child has a history of skin allergies or eczema, or if you see signs of a severe allergic reaction (trouble breathing, swelling of face or lips), seek medical help right away. Also remember that safety can depend on the full product formula, not just this one ingredient.
