2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), this ingredient is generally safe to use on the skin. Public safety listings note only low-level concerns, and it is commonly used to help skin feel softer and hold moisture.
Use products with this ingredient as directed and in small amounts. Choose gentle, kid-friendly products (fragrance-free and made for sensitive skin) when possible. Before using a new product over large areas, test a small patch on your child’s arm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction.
Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, itching, or a rash. Keep products away from eyes and out of reach of children. A public ingredient safety listing flagged only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental or reproductive effects — these are not high risks, but if your child has very sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of allergic reactions, talk with your pediatrician before regular use.
