2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin. It works as a skin-softening ingredient and there are no strong signals for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth in the available data. However, there is a note from safety reviewers that irritation of the skin, eyes or lungs could happen, though evidence is limited.
Use products that are meant for children and follow the product label. Before full use, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Avoid getting the product in the eyes or mouth and do not apply it to broken, raw, or infected skin. Use the smallest amount that helps, and stop use if you see irritation. If your child has a history of sensitive skin, eczema, or allergies, consider consulting your pediatrician before use.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, stinging, or coughing after use — those are signs of irritation. The irritation note comes from a cosmetic ingredient review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review - CIR) that found the evidence on skin/eye/lung irritation to be limited or unassessed. Also avoid aerosol or spray forms that could be inhaled. If irritation is severe or does not go away after stopping the product, rinse the area and contact your child’s healthcare provider.
