Is this kid-friendly to use Arachidyl Alcohol?
ℹ️General Overview
For children 5 years and older, arachidyl alcohol is generally considered low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin. It works as a moisturizer and thickener and is not linked to major health problems in people based on available assessments.
✅What to Do
If you use a lotion or wipe that lists arachidyl alcohol, test it first by putting a small amount on a patch of your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products only on intact skin, follow the product instructions, and stop use if any redness, itching, or rash appears. For everyday use on school-age children, choose products formulated for children when possible.
