ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years): generally low risk when used in normal skin creams and lotions made for kids. Rarely it may cause mild irritation. It is usually safe if used as directed and not put on broken skin.
✅What to Do
Use products made for children or labeled for sensitive skin. Before regular use, do a small patch test on the inside of your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours. Keep products away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your child’s doctor before trying new products. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, or a rash.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin redness, itching, or eye irritation — limited evidence of irritation has been reported by the European chemicals agency (ECHA). Industry reviewers note gaps in safety data and recommend using established concentration limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR). This ingredient can also be used in food products (US FDA), so be mindful of multiple sources of exposure. There is a single lab test showing a mutation result in cells (EPA) but overall risk is considered low; still, avoid heavy or repeated use on large areas of thin or damaged skin and consult your pediatrician if you are worried.
