For children (5 years and older), aspartic acid is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. It’s a common natural building-block of protein and is rarely linked to harm.
Use products that are labeled for children or gentle skin use. Before using a new product, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Don’t apply to broken or badly irritated skin. Follow the product directions and avoid contact with eyes and mouth. If your child gets a rash, swelling, or persistent redness, stop using the product and see your pediatrician.
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reactions, which are uncommon but possible (source: Environment Canada / industry safety reviews). Some product certification or verification programs require manufacturers to provide documentation about concentration or purity before the ingredient can be used in verified products (source: product verification program restrictions). Regulatory reviews note low concern for cancer or reproductive harm (source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Environment Canada), and industry guidance suggests limits on concentration or impurities in some uses (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
