2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For young children (2–5 years old), Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax is low risk and is usually safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. It is commonly used to help ingredients mix and to keep skin soft.
Use products made for children or gentle, child-friendly formulas. Before using a new product, put a small amount on the inside of your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Avoid applying to broken, chapped, or irritated skin. Keep products away from the eyes and mouth. If you see any redness, swelling, rash, or your child has coughing or breathing trouble after use, stop immediately and contact your pediatrician.
There is a note from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) about possible skin, eye, or lung irritation — evidence is not fully assessed. Watch for signs of irritation (redness, rash, swelling, eye watering) or breathing changes. If your child is known to be allergic to bee products, talk with your pediatrician before using products that may contain beeswax-derived ingredients.
