For young children (ages 2–5) this red dye is generally low risk when used on the skin in small amounts, but some official reviews say it should be limited in certain products and can sometimes irritate eyes or skin.
Pick products made for kids or those that do not list CI 45410. Avoid using colored products close to your child’s eyes or on broken skin. For new products, do a small patch test on the arm and wait 24 hours. If you prefer extra caution, choose products without synthetic colorants or use rinse-off products rather than leave-on creams with this dye.
Watch for redness, stinging, swelling, or eye irritation and stop use if these happen. Government guidance notes the dye is not approved for cosmetics used around the eyes (FDA), there are concerns about persistence in the environment and wildlife (Environment Canada), and some reviews raise possible hormone-related effects (National Toxicology Program) and limited irritation reports (European Chemicals Agency).
