Use products that list this ingredient only as directed. Do a small patch test on the child's inner forearm first and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Avoid using products with this ingredient on broken, red, or irritated skin. Keep products away from the child’s eyes and mouth. Prefer reputable brands that test for impurities and avoid spray or powder formats that could be inhaled.
Safety reviews flag contamination concerns (possible traces of methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, or benzene) and note that some people may experience skin, eye, or breathing irritation. Industry safety panels recommend limits on impurities. If your child develops a rash, swelling, eye irritation, coughing, wheeze, or other breathing trouble after use, stop use and contact your pediatrician. Avoid products that do not disclose testing or come from unknown sources.
