For children aged 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this fragrance ingredient is usually low risk for serious health problems but can cause allergic skin reactions in some kids.
If you use a product that lists this ingredient: do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use; avoid using fragranced products every day or over large areas of skin; choose fragrance-free products for regular use when possible; stop using the product right away if you see redness, itching, swelling, or a rash and talk to your pediatrician if it is severe.
Watch for allergic skin reactions — regulators (EU Cosmetics Directive) list this ingredient as a known human allergen. Do not use on broken or irritated skin, and keep fragranced products away from the child’s eyes and mouth. Other safety reviews note low concern for organ harm and low persistence in the environment (Environment Canada) and limited approved food uses (FDA), but the allergy risk is the main issue to watch.
