5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), Bacillus Ferment is generally low risk when used on the skin in normal amounts. There is some limited evidence it can irritate the skin or eyes, and a European chemicals agency has noted a classification related to non-reproductive organ system toxicity. Overall it is considered low concern but use caution.
Use products made for children when possible. Before using a new product on your child’s face or body, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid applying to broken, cracked, or inflamed skin and keep products away from the eyes and mouth. Start with a small amount and stop use if you see redness, itching, swelling, or any new symptoms. If a strong reaction occurs, rinse the area and contact your pediatrician.
A European chemicals authority (European Chemicals Agency, ECHA) notes limited evidence of skin and eye irritation and lists a classification related to non-reproductive organ system toxicity — this is the source of the main caution. Other concerns such as cancer, allergy risk, and developmental or reproductive effects are rated low. Watch for any irritation after use and avoid products that cause stinging, burning, or persistent redness.
