Use products that list this ingredient exactly as the product label directs. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear before wider use. Avoid putting the product on broken, raw, or very irritated skin, and keep it out of your child’s eyes and mouth. Use only the amount recommended and avoid daily heavy application over the whole body unless a doctor advises it.
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, itching or any signs of irritation and stop use if these occur. The provided safety summary notes low concerns for cancer, allergies/immunotoxicity, and developmental/reproductive effects for this ingredient; because those concerns exist even at low levels, check with your child’s pediatrician if your child has eczema, very sensitive skin, if you plan to use the product over large areas of the body, or if you are unsure. For severe reactions (breathing trouble, swelling of face or throat), seek emergency care immediately.
