2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For kids ages 2-5 (toddlers and preschoolers): Sclerotium gum is generally safe when used on normal skin. It’s a common thickener that stays on the skin surface and has very low reports of causing cancer, allergies, or developmental problems.
Choose products made for children or simple formulations. Before regular use, do a small patch test on your child’s inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Don’t put it on broken or very sore skin. If your child has sensitive skin or a known mold/fungal allergy, use a product without this ingredient or check with your pediatrician first.
Some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety evidence, and industry reviewers have listed recommendations for safe use. Watch for any rash, swelling, or breathing trouble after use — stop immediately and seek medical care if these occur. If a product causes irritation on a small patch test, do not use it on your child.
