✅What to Do
Use products formulated for children or labelled gentle. Before using a new product, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Avoid putting products on broken or very red skin. If you see mild redness or itching, stop using the product and rinse the area with water. If symptoms continue or get worse, contact your child’s doctor or a dermatologist.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of irritation: redness, stinging, swelling, blisters, or eye irritation if the product gets into the eyes. This irritation concern comes from a cosmetic ingredient review that noted possible skin/eye/lung irritation. If your child has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or a severe reaction, seek emergency medical care right away. Also keep all products out of reach to avoid swallowing.
