Keep products out of reach to prevent accidental swallowing.
Public ingredient safety data report only low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects for this ingredient, which means those are unlikely. Still, watch for signs of a skin reaction (redness, itching, hives, swelling). If a reaction happens, stop use and consult your pediatrician. Also avoid getting the product in your child’s eyes or mouth. Remember that problems in a product are more likely to come from other ingredients in the product, not this one, so check the full ingredient list if irritation occurs.
