2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (about 2–5 years), this ingredient is generally safe when used in normal amounts in skin products. It’s a common thickener and stabilizer and has low reported concern for cancer, allergy, or effects on development.
Use products made for children when possible. Before using a new product on a child’s skin, test a small amount on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid putting products in the child’s mouth or eyes. Don’t apply to broken, very red, or scratched skin. If your child has very sensitive skin or a history of eczema, choose simple formulas and consider asking your pediatrician.
Watch for any rash, swelling, itching, or unusual skin changes and stop use if these appear. The ingredient’s safety notes include recommendations about limits on concentration and possible impurities from industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and some product verification programs may restrict its use unless manufacturers provide safety data—so prefer well-formulated child products from reputable brands. If a product label or a safety program flags restrictions or missing safety data, that is a reason to avoid that specific product for young children.
