For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids and older children), this ingredient is generally low risk when used like an antiperspirant on small areas (for example, underarms). It is not risk-free and is restricted in some regulatory lists.
If you choose a product with this ingredient, use it sparingly and only on underarms. Do not put it on irritated, broken, or freshly shaved skin. Avoid products that contain it in wipes or body lotions meant for frequent or full-body use for kids. If your child has a health condition, check with your pediatrician before use.
Some regulatory lists and safety reviews (for example, Health Canada and cosmetic ingredient restriction lists) flag use restrictions for this ingredient, and a few published studies reported limited evidence or high-dose animal findings related to tumors. Because of these restrictions and findings, avoid frequent, large-area application and stop use if your child develops irritation or a rash. If you see persistent skin reaction, contact your doctor.
