ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and preschoolers (about 2–5 years old), this sunscreen ingredient is considered very low risk when used on normal skin in sunscreens made for kids and applied the way the label says.
✅What to Do
Use sunscreens that list this ingredient as part of a formulated product for children; apply to dry skin 15–20 minutes before sun exposure; avoid heavy amounts near the eyes and mouth; do a small patch test on the inside of the arm before first use; reapply as the product label directs; if your child has very sensitive skin, consider a mineral sunscreen or ask your pediatrician.
