For toddlers and young children (2–5 years): this licorice-derived ingredient is generally safe on the skin at the low levels normally used in wipes, lotions and creams.
Use products made for children or baby skin, follow product instructions, and do a small patch test first (apply a little on the inside of the forearm and check for 24–48 hours). Avoid putting it on cuts, scrapes or irritated skin. If you see redness, rash, swelling or other irritation, stop use and talk to your child’s pediatrician.
