Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a gentle, sugar-based ingredient that helps skin hold moisture. For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), it is generally considered safe when used on normal, unbroken skin.
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on your child: 1) Try a small patch on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for reactions; 2) Use on clean, unbroken skin only; 3) Keep products away from eyes and the mouth; 4) Use sparingly and follow the product instructions.
Stop use if you see redness, swelling, rash, or any signs of irritation. Some product safety programs ask for extra safety information from manufacturers before allowing this ingredient in certified products—this recommendation comes from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. If your child has very sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
