Undecylenoyl glycine is generally low risk for preschool children (ages 2–5). It’s used on the skin and usually doesn’t cause serious problems, but young children's skin and eyes are more sensitive than adults'.
Use products made for children or those that list gentle, well-known ingredients. Apply to intact skin only, avoid the eye area and lips, and do a small patch test on the arm before wider use. If the child has a history of sensitive skin or allergies, ask your pediatrician first.
Watch for redness, swelling, stinging, or eye irritation and stop use right away if any appear. Limited evidence shows it can irritate eyes and may cause mild skin irritation in some people (based on Cosmetic Ingredient Review and European Chemicals Agency notes). Also be aware that some product verification programs may limit its use unless makers provide safety data—this is a note about product labeling, not that the ingredient is known to be dangerous.
