Safe for preschoolers to use Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate?
ℹ️General Overview
For children 2–5 years old, this sunscreen ingredient is generally considered low risk when used in normal sunscreens. It is stable in sunlight and doesn’t soak into skin much, but some regulators have set limits on its use and a few studies note possible risks at very high doses.
✅What to Do
Use sunscreens made for children or labeled for sensitive skin. Put a thin, even layer on exposed skin, avoiding eyes and mouth. Do a small patch test on the inside of the arm before first full-body use. Reapply as the product label says and wash it off after you return indoors. If your child has broken skin, eczema, or a history of reactions, consider a physical sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) instead or check with your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, rash, swelling, or your child complains of stinging or burning. There are limited reports of irritation (skin, eyes, or breathing) from regulatory reviews (European Chemicals Agency). Some European rules place limits on how this ingredient is used (European regulatory opinions). Animal studies showed reproductive effects only at very high doses (peer-reviewed literature), and an international cancer agency noted limited evidence of carcinogenicity (International Agency for Research on Cancer). These findings mean extra caution is reasonable for young children.
