✅What to Do
Use products made for kids or gentle skin products. Do a small patch test on the forearm before first use. Don’t put products with this ingredient on broken or irritated skin. Avoid sprays near a child’s face to reduce breathing exposure. If redness, rash, or eye irritation appears, stop use and wash the area with water.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, itching, or stinging — limited evidence shows it can irritate skin (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and peer-reviewed studies). Animal studies flagged organ and nervous-system effects only at high doses not typical for normal skin use (European chemicals authority and Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Some safety-certification programs require companies to document safety before including this ingredient in certified products.
