✅What to Do
If you plan to use a product with this ingredient on your child: pick gentle or child-formulated products, do a small patch test on the child's inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use, use a small amount, avoid putting it on broken skin or near the eyes, and stop using it if the child develops redness, itching or swelling. For any severe reaction (trouble breathing, big swelling), get emergency medical care.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin reactions such as redness, itching or swelling — while the safety data lists allergy risk as low, plant resins can still cause sensitivity in some people (source: provided ingredient safety data). Avoid if your child has a known allergy to tree resins or frankincense. Also be cautious when the product contains added fragrances or essential oils, which can raise the chance of irritation.
