✅What to Do
Before regular use, try the product on a small patch of your child's skin (inside forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Use products labeled for children when possible, do not apply to cuts or raw skin, and follow the product directions. If your child develops redness, itching, swelling, or any clear irritation, stop using it and wash the area with mild soap and water.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of an allergic or skin reaction (redness, rash, swelling, or blistering). The ingredient safety database notes only low concerns for cancer, allergies, developmental or reproductive effects, and no special use restrictions — but individual sensitivities are possible. If your child has known sensitivity to amino acids or a history of skin allergies, avoid this ingredient or check with your pediatrician before use.
