5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 years and up (kids and school-age children), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin in normal amounts found in lotions and creams. It helps products spread and feel smooth.
Use regular or children-formulated products as directed. Apply to unbroken skin only. If the product is a spray or mist, avoid spraying near a child’s face to prevent inhalation. For a child with sensitive skin, try a small patch on the forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Keep all products out of reach so younger children don’t accidentally eat or swallow them.
Stop use and rinse if you see redness, stinging, swelling, or if the child has trouble breathing. The ingredient data lists possible skin, eye or lung irritation (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and animal studies that showed organ effects only at moderate or higher doses (source: Environmental Protection Agency). Also follow any concentration or use limits set by cosmetic safety reviewers and avoid ingestion or aspiration (do not let children put the product in their mouths).
