Use products that list this ingredient as directed. Before using a new product widely on your child, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Avoid putting the product on broken, irritated, or inflamed skin. Keep the product away from the eyes and mouth. If a rash or irritation appears, stop use and rinse the area; if symptoms are severe or continue, contact your child's healthcare provider.
Watch for signs of skin allergy or irritation such as redness, itchiness, swelling, or a rash. These cautions come from public safety listings for the ingredient that rate its concerns as low — meaning serious risks are unlikely, but individual allergic reactions can still happen. Do not let children ingest products containing this ingredient. If product labeling or your pediatrician gives different advice, follow that guidance.
