ℹ️General Overview
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.
✅What to Do
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.
