2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), this olive‑derived skin conditioning ingredient is low risk and generally safe when used in normal skin products. It is not linked to cancer, allergies, or developmental problems at typical use levels.
If you plan to use a lotion or cream containing this ingredient on a 2–5 year old child, apply a small amount to a patch of normal skin first and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use products made for children when possible, avoid applying to cuts or rashes, and keep products away from the child’s eyes and mouth.
Safety reviews note a small chance of skin or eye irritation and that its use in cosmetics follows concentration limits set by safety panels (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). If you see redness, itching, swelling, or eye irritation, stop use and rinse the area. Seek medical advice if the reaction is severe or persistent.
