2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin. It works as a moisturizer and is not linked to cancer, allergy problems, or effects on growth or reproduction in the available safety listing.
When using a product that contains this ingredient on your child: choose products made for young children or for sensitive skin when possible; do a small patch test (apply a tiny amount to the inside of the forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction before wider use; apply only to intact, unbroken skin; use a small amount and avoid the eyes and mouth; if your child licks or eats the product, rinse their mouth and consult your pediatrician if you’re worried.
Watch for any redness, itching, swelling, blisters, or breathing difficulty — stop use immediately and contact your pediatrician if these happen. Avoid use on cuts, scrapes, or very irritated skin. These recommendations are based on the publicly available ingredient safety listing (see the ingredient page: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredients/862577-BISOCTYLDODECYL_DIMER_DILINOLEATEPROPANEDIOL_COPOLYMER/), which lists the common concerns as low for cancer, allergies & immune effects, developmental/reproductive effects, and use restrictions.
