For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), this ingredient is generally considered safe when used on the skin in normal products. Major safety reviews find very low concerns for cancer, allergies, or growth and development effects.
Use products that list this ingredient according to the product directions. For children aged 2–5, do a small patch test on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid applying to broken, raw, or very irritated skin. Keep products out of reach so children don’t swallow them and avoid getting the product in the child’s eyes or mouth.
Stop use and talk with your child’s doctor if you see redness, swelling, itching, blisters, or other signs of a reaction. The safety information comes from regulatory reviews (for example, the US Food and Drug Administration and Environment Canada) that list this ingredient as allowed for limited uses and not expected to be toxic. Also watch for other ingredients in the product (fragrance, preservatives) that can cause reactions even if this ingredient itself is low risk.
