For children 5 years and older, behenyl behenate is generally safe when used on the skin. It is a moisturizing, wax-like ingredient with very low safety concerns in public reviews.
Use products as directed. Before using a new product on a child, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Avoid putting the product on broken or irritated skin and keep it away from the eyes. If the product is a spray, avoid letting the child inhale it.
Some safety reviews note a low chance of skin or eye irritation and recommend following concentration or use limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). If your child has sensitive skin or a history of allergies, be extra cautious. Stop use and contact a healthcare provider if you see redness, swelling, rash, or any breathing problems.
