2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), this ingredient is generally safe in creams and lotions. Serious risks like cancer, allergic disease, or harm to growth are reported as low. The main thing to watch for is mild skin or eye irritation.
Before using a new product on your child, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Use only as directed on the product label, avoid putting it near your child’s eyes or mouth, do not use on broken or very irritated skin, and stop use if you see redness, rash, swelling, or eye irritation. Prefer products made for children and avoid sprays or mists that could be breathed in.
Watch for signs of irritation (redness, stinging, rash) and eye irritation. This is flagged because a cosmetic ingredient review found the available evidence on irritation is not fully assessed. The ingredient lists low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth — these are not considered likely but always stop use and check with your pediatrician if you are worried or if a reaction appears.
