5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids, elementary-aged children, and teens), this ingredient is generally low risk and is commonly used to soften and smooth the skin.
If you try a product with this ingredient on your child, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm first. Use the product as directed, avoid putting it in or near the eyes and mouth, and start with a small amount. If your child has sensitive skin, use sparingly and watch for any change.
The provided safety listing notes low concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive harm — so these are not major worries for this ingredient by itself. Still, stop use and rinse if you see redness, swelling, itching, or a rash. Avoid using on broken or infected skin, and keep products out of reach to prevent accidental ingestion. Also check the full product label, because other ingredients in the product could increase risk.
