2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5) this ingredient is considered low risk. It’s used to make skin feel soft and smooth and safety reviewers list only low concerns.
Use products that are made for children or labelled for sensitive skin and follow the product directions. Do a small patch test on the child’s arm before broader use. Don’t put the product on cuts, scrapes, or badly irritated skin. Avoid the eyes and mouth. If a product is meant to be left on large areas of a child’s body, prefer simpler, child‑formulated products.
Stop use and talk to your child’s doctor if you see redness, rash, swelling, or other signs of irritation. Safety reviewers note that conclusions depend on how much of the ingredient is used and product formulation; this comes from reviews by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review industry panel that flags concentration or product‑type limits and some data gaps. If your child has very sensitive skin or a history of allergies, choose a gentle, tested children’s product or ask your pediatrician.
