2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (2-5 years): Ethyl Macadamiate is a gentle skin-conditioning ingredient made from macadamia nut oil and is generally low-risk for skin use.
Use products with this ingredient as directed. Before using widely, do a small patch test on your child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Apply sparingly to healthy skin and avoid the eyes and mouth. If your child has a known tree-nut allergy, either avoid products with this ingredient or check with your pediatrician first.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (redness, itchiness, swelling, rash). The ingredient is derived from macadamia nut oil, so the main concern comes from potential nut allergy as noted in public cosmetic safety listings. If you see a skin reaction, stop using the product and contact your pediatrician. Keep all cosmetics out of reach to prevent accidental ingestion.
