Safe for preschoolers to use Glyceryl Linoleate?
ℹ️General Overview
Glyceryl linoleate is a skin-softening ingredient. For kids aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers) it is generally usable but may cause irritation in some children and can help other ingredients get into the skin more easily. Because of that, it should be used with care.
✅What to Do
Choose products formulated for young children or labeled gentle/for sensitive skin. Prefer rinse-off or low-concentration products rather than strong, leave-on treatments. Do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. If your child has eczema, broken skin, or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before using products that contain this ingredient.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, stinging, swelling, blistering, or any new rash. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) notes this ingredient can cause irritation in people and recommends limits on how it is used and in which product types — avoid high-concentration or leave-on products on damaged skin. Also be careful to avoid contact with eyes. Environment Canada notes environmental toxicity concerns, so avoid rinsing large amounts down the drain when possible.
