2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-5), this ingredient is usually safe in skin products when used as directed. The main concerns are possible mild irritation for sensitive children and the chance of contamination from manufacturing (examples: methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, benzene).
Use products with this ingredient only as directed. Do a small patch test on your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction before using over larger areas. Avoid applying to cuts, scrapes, or red/irritated skin. Keep creams away from the eyes and mouth. Prefer brands that are clear about purity or that test for impurities. If your child develops skin redness, itching, swelling, watery eyes, coughing, or any breathing trouble after use, stop and see your pediatrician.
Safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and related assessments) note possible skin/eye/lung irritation and list contamination concerns — specifically methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, and benzene — as the main higher-level worry. Because of those contamination notes and some gaps in the available data, avoid unnecessary or frequent use on young children, do a patch test first, and choose products from manufacturers that test for impurities. If you notice persistent irritation or any breathing problems after use, contact your child’s healthcare provider.
