Safe for preschoolers to use Gamma Nonalactone?
ℹ️General Overview
For young children (ages 2–5), Gamma-Nonalactone is considered low risk when it's used in the small amounts normally found in scented skin products. It is mainly a fragrance chemical and overall evidence shows little harm at typical levels.
✅What to Do
If you use a product that lists this ingredient on a toddler or child: choose products made for children or labeled gentle; avoid products with strong fragrance; do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash; don’t put fragranced products on broken skin; use sparingly and avoid frequent reapplication over large skin areas.
⚠️Warnings
There is a limited study that found weak hormone-related effects (reported by the National Toxicology Program), so avoid routine use of fragranced products with this ingredient on very young children and babies. Also watch for skin redness, itching or rashes (signs of an allergic reaction) and stop use if these occur. For safety, keep fragranced products away from the child’s eyes and mouth and store them out of reach.
