2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For children aged 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin. It is a mild ingredient used to help mix oils and water in creams and lotions.
Use products that contain this ingredient as directed on the label. Apply to intact, healthy skin and avoid using on cuts, scrapes, or very irritated skin. If trying a new product, test a small amount on a small patch of your child’s arm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Keep products away from the eyes and mouth.
Watch for any signs of irritation such as redness, itching, rash, swelling, or watery eyes; if these appear, stop use and wash the area with water. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes that evidence on irritation is unclear, so irritation is the main issue to watch for. Also remember that product formulations include other ingredients—if you see irritation it may be caused by another ingredient in the product.
