✅What to Do
If you use a product that contains this ingredient on a child 2–5 years old: • Do a patch test first (apply a small amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours). • Use sparingly and avoid putting fragranced products on broken or irritated skin. • Keep product away from eyes, mouth and hands to reduce accidental ingestion. • If redness, itching, swelling or a rash appears, stop use and wash the area with water; contact your child’s pediatrician if the reaction is severe or spreads. • If your child has eczema or known fragrance sensitivities, prefer fragrance-free products.
