Use products that list this ingredient as directed. Before full use, do a quick patch test on the inside of the elbow to check for sensitivity. Don’t apply to broken or badly irritated skin. If you want extra reassurance, look for product labels or manufacturer information that describe safety testing.
Stop use and rinse if you see redness, itching, or a rash. If a strong reaction occurs, seek medical advice. The ingredient listing also notes that some product verification programs require manufacturers to provide safety documentation before using this ingredient in verified products — that’s a verification requirement, not proof of harm. Cosmetic industry reviewers provide informational recommendations about safe use and manufacturing.
