2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For preschoolers and young children (ages 2-5), C14-22 Alcohols are generally safe when used on the skin. These are fatty alcohols that help soften and thicken products and have a very low chance of causing harm or irritation when the ingredient is used by itself.
Use products with this ingredient in small amounts on your child’s skin. Apply to a small patch first (on the arm) and wait 24 hours to check for any redness or rash. Keep products away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of allergies, consider testing first or ask your pediatrician.
The provided safety listing marks cancer, allergy, and developmental concerns as low for this ingredient, so those are not the main worries. Still, watch for skin redness, itching, or a new rash — if you see any, stop use and talk to your doctor. Also remember this review is for C14-22 Alcohols alone; other ingredients in a product (like fragrances or preservatives) can cause reactions even if this ingredient is low risk.
