⚠️Warnings
Safety reviewers rate concerns like cancer, allergy, and developmental effects as low, but they also note data gaps and that some safety findings are based on related chemicals or assumed concentration limits (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Because of those data gaps, avoid concentrated or raw forms of the ingredient, and avoid applying products that contain many other unfamiliar or strong actives to young children.
