Is this kid-friendly to use Benzyl Acetate?
ℹ️General Overview
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, preteens, teens), benzyl acetate is generally low risk when used in normal amounts in skin products. It is a common fragrance most older children tolerate.
✅What to Do
If you plan to use a product that lists benzyl acetate, do a small patch test first (apply a little inside the elbow and wait 24 hours). Don’t put fragranced products on broken or inflamed skin. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, choose fragrance-free options. Keep all fragranced products out of reach of younger children and infants.
⚠️Warnings
There is a low-level note from a government review about possible effects on the hormone system (National Toxicology Program). Other reviews say it is not likely to be carcinogenic (International Agency for Research on Cancer) and is not expected to persist in the body or environment (Environment Canada). The main things parents should watch for are skin redness, itching, swelling, or other signs of an allergic reaction — stop use and see your child’s doctor if these occur.
