ℹ️General Overview

✅What to Do
Do a small patch test on the inner arm for 24 hours before regular use. Use a thin layer on intact skin only. Prefer simple, fragrance-free products and choose well-known brands. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, start with rinse-off products or use less often. Stop using if you see redness, itching, or bumps.
⚠️Warnings
Skin allergy or irritation has been reported by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (an industry safety panel). Possible hydroquinone contamination has been flagged in ingredient safety reviews; pick reputable brands and do not use discolored or old products. A 1996 animal study on vitamin E forms and sun exposure reported tumor growth at very high doses; this does not reflect normal everyday use on children.
