For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin in normal amounts. It’s a sugar-based emulsifier that helps keep creams and lotions mixed and smooth.
Use products that contain this ingredient as directed. Before regular use, do a quick patch test: put a small amount on the inside of your child’s forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Don’t apply to broken or very irritated skin. Keep products away from your child’s eyes and mouth. If any rash, swelling, or strong irritation appears, stop use and rinse the area; see your child’s doctor if the reaction is serious or does not improve.
The ingredient’s safety listing shows low concerns for cancer, allergic/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive harm — “low” means the chance of harm is small. Still, watch for skin reactions, especially if your child has eczema, very sensitive skin, or a history of allergies. The safety listing provided with this ingredient notes these low concerns and does not indicate special use restrictions, but always discontinue use if you see a reaction and consult your pediatrician for any questions.
