2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), Coco-Caprylate is generally safe when used in normal child-friendly lotions and wipes. Most safety reviews find very low concerns for long-term harms, though a small number of people can get mild irritation.
Use products made for children, apply a small amount to a tiny area on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction, avoid the eye area and the mouth, and stop use if your child gets redness, itching, or a rash. If irritation continues or is severe, see your child’s doctor.
Expert safety reviews note it is safe with some limits but can sometimes cause mild skin or eye irritation. Watch for redness, swelling, itchy skin, watery eyes, coughing or breathing trouble after use and stop using the product. These irritation notes come from expert cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
