2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), Ceramide NG is generally safe. It is a skin-friendly ingredient that helps restore the skin’s natural barrier and is commonly used in moisturizers.
Choose products made for children or sensitive skin. Apply a small amount to a small patch of the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation before using more widely. Use as directed, avoid the eye and mouth areas, and stop use if the child develops irritation. Prefer simple, fragrance-free formulations when possible.
Watch for redness, rash, itching, swelling, or breathing difficulty — stop use and seek medical help for severe reactions. Do not put on broken skin or open wounds. Be aware that some industry safety reviews and product verification programs recommend limits or extra documentation for this ingredient (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and product-restriction notes). Those sources are the reason some manufacturers limit its use or concentrations.
