✅What to Do
Before using a new product on your child, do a small patch test: put a little on the inside of the child’s forearm and watch for 24–48 hours. Use the product exactly as the label says. Do not put products with this ingredient on open cuts or sore skin. If your child has a known oat or grain allergy, avoid products that list this ingredient and talk with your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, or rash after use — stop the product and see a doctor if these happen. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes limited evidence about allergy risk, so reactions are possible. Also be aware this ingredient can appear in foods and additives (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), so using many oat-containing products could add to overall exposure. Environment Canada reviewed the ingredient and did not find it likely to cause general organ toxicity.
