2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this plant-derived sterol used in skin creams and lotions is considered very low risk when used as directed on normal, unbroken skin.
Use products that list this ingredient as part of a simple, child-friendly formula. Before widespread use, do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any redness or itching. Don’t apply on cuts, rashes, or badly irritated skin. Keep products out of reach so young children don’t eat or smear them into their mouths or eyes.
A safety database for cosmetic ingredients lists only low-level concerns for allergies and other effects for this ingredient. Still, watch for any new rash, redness, swelling, itching, or breathing trouble after use—stop use and rinse the area if that happens and contact your pediatrician. If your child has known seed or plant oil allergies, avoid use and consult your doctor. Remember that reactions more often come from other ingredients in a product (for example fragrances or preservatives) rather than this sterol itself.
