2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), this ingredient is usually safe. It’s a gentle ingredient used to help mix oil and water in creams and lotions. Most safety signals are low, but there is a small chance it could irritate skin or eyes.
Use products made for young children when you can. Before using a new product with this ingredient, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid putting products in or near the eyes. If your child has sensitive skin, eczema, or broken skin, choose a product labeled for sensitive or baby skin and consult your pediatrician if unsure.
Watch for redness, stinging, swelling, or a rash. A cosmetic ingredient review noted that irritation (skin or eye) has not been fully assessed — that is the main reason to watch for reactions. Also, some product verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless the maker provides extra safety information, so double-check product labels and manufacturer guidance. If you see severe swelling, breathing problems, or signs of a serious allergic reaction, get medical help right away.
