2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For preschool children (2-5 years), this ingredient is generally safe and low risk when used in products made for kids. It has low links to cancer, allergies, or effects on growth or development. The main small risk is irritation.
Use products made for children and prefer rinse-off items (shampoo, body wash) over leave-on creams when possible. If your child has sensitive skin, try a small patch test on the inner arm first. Keep products away from the eyes, rinse well, and stop use if you see redness, rash, stinging, or if your child coughs or has breathing trouble.
Watch for skin or eye irritation, or coughing if the product is sprayed or gets in the face — this caution comes from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review which notes possible irritation and says the ingredient should be used within concentration limits. Also be aware that some product verification programs limit use of this ingredient unless makers provide extra safety data. If irritation occurs, stop use and talk to your pediatrician.
