2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For preschool children (ages 2–5), this ingredient is generally low risk for skin use. It’s used to support skin health and most kids won’t have problems. The biggest issue is rare skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
Before using a new product on a child’s skin, test a small amount on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours. Use products made for children or mild formulas, avoid applying to cuts or sore skin, keep the amount small, and keep products away from the eyes and mouth. If a product contains many active ingredients, choose simpler formulations for young children.
Watch for redness, swelling, itching, bumps, or hives after application — these are signs of a reaction and you should stop use. Do not use on broken or inflamed skin. If a reaction is severe or spreads, contact your pediatrician. These precautions are based on the ingredient safety listing used for this evaluation, which notes low overall concerns but does indicate that irritation or allergy can occur in some people.
