For children aged 5 and older (kids, school-age children, young children), this ingredient is usually okay in small amounts in finished skin products. It can irritate skin or eyes for some people and some safety rules limit how it can be used.
Choose products from trusted brands that list ingredients and safety testing. Do a small patch test on your child's inner forearm before using a product on larger areas. Avoid products with this ingredient on broken, red, or sore skin. Keep products away from your child's eyes and rinse with water right away if it stings. If irritation or a rash appears, stop use and consult your pediatrician.
This ingredient is noted as an eye and skin irritant in European hazard labeling guidance. Government and industry safety reviewers place limits and restrictions on its use in cosmetics (European cosmetics rules and industry safety reviews). There are also contamination concerns — nitrosamines and oxazolidine have been flagged as possible impurities if manufacturing controls are poor. Because of those risks, avoid using products that do not list ingredients or come from unknown makers, and be extra careful around the face and eyes. If you see persistent redness, swelling, blisters, or breathing changes after use, seek medical help.
