For children aged 2–5 years, this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin in regular products. It’s used to make lotions feel smooth and is not known to cause cancer or lasting harm at normal use levels.
Use products made for children or standard lotions as directed. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm first (apply a pea-sized amount and wait 24 hours). Avoid applying to cuts or very red, inflamed skin. If the product label mentions concentration limits or special instructions, follow them. Keep products out of reach of children.
Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, rash, itching, swelling, or any signs of an allergic reaction. Some safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note data gaps and recommend limits on concentration or product types, so avoid products that do not list ingredients clearly or that claim unusually high concentrations. Environment Canada assessments list it as not expected to be toxic, but parents should still watch for irritation and avoid ingestion.
