5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids aged 5 and up (school-age children), Blue 1 used on the skin is usually safe. It’s a coloring dye and most children won’t have a problem with it.
Use products that contain Blue 1 as directed. Do a small patch test on your child’s arm first if you’re unsure. Don’t put it on cuts, scrapes, or irritated skin, and keep it away from the eyes and mouth. If your child swallows a product with this dye, follow the product’s first-aid instructions and call your pediatrician or poison control if needed.
The ingredient safety listings note a low-level concern for allergic reactions. Watch for redness, rash, itching or swelling after use and stop using the product if these occur. If a child has a known dye sensitivity or unexplained reactions to colored products, avoid products with Blue 1 and talk with your child’s healthcare provider. The guidance above is based on the available ingredient safety data used for this assessment.
