Use child-friendly products that list simple ingredients. Before using a new product on your child’s whole body, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Apply only to unbroken skin, avoid the eye and mouth area, and use a small amount. Do not use powders or sprays that could be breathed in. If the product contains strong fragrances or other unfamiliar ingredients, consider avoiding it.
Watch for skin redness, stinging, swelling, or eye irritation. This note about possible irritation comes from a cosmetic ingredient review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Official assessments (for example by food and environmental health agencies) classify this ingredient as low concern for general health and not likely to build up in the body. If you see signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, difficulty breathing) or persistent irritation, stop use and contact your pediatrician or seek emergency care.
