2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this ingredient is low risk when used in normal skin products. It helps keep lotions and wipes stable and usually does not cause harm at the small amounts used in finished products.
Use products made for young children. Before using a new lotion or wipe, do a small patch test on a small area of your child’s arm and wait 24 hours. Don’t put products with this ingredient on cuts, raw or very irritated skin. If you see redness, swelling, blisters, or your child seems uncomfortable, stop use and wash the area. Prefer products that state they are formulated for children or sensitive skin.
Industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note some missing safety data and that animal tests showed irritation at higher doses. Because of that, watch for signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, rash, itching). Also be aware that some product lines limit how this ingredient is used or require extra safety information before including it in formulations; choose reputable brands and follow product directions.
