If your child has very sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of skin reactions, consider consulting your pediatrician before regular use.
Manufacturers and some product-verification programs may restrict this ingredient unless they provide safety data; this comes from industry safety guidance (for example, Cosmetic Ingredient Review recommendations). Also watch for any signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, itching, rash) and stop use if these occur.
