ℹ️General Overview

For children aged 2 to 5 (toddlers and preschoolers), oryzanol applied to the skin is generally considered low risk. It’s an antioxidant from rice bran oil and is used in some creams and sunscreens to help protect skin.

What to Do

If you use a product that lists oryzanol on the label: do a small patch test first on your child’s inner arm and wait 24 hours for any reaction; avoid putting new products on broken or irritated skin; keep products away from eyes and mouth; use as directed on the product label and use the smallest amount needed for the intended purpose.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for any redness, swelling, itching, or rash after applying — stop use and rinse the area if that happens. There is a note from Environment Canada about uncertain environmental toxicity (this is an environmental concern, not a direct health alarm for your child). Also keep all products out of reach of children to avoid accidental swallowing or eye contact.
