ℹ️General Overview
For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children), this ingredient is generally safe in topical products when used as directed. Official sources consider it low-risk and not likely to cause long-term harm.
✅What to Do
Use products that list this ingredient as directed. Before full use, do a small patch test on your child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Avoid applying to broken, cut, or severely irritated skin. Keep products out of reach so children don’t swallow them. If your child has very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
Although overall risk is low, watch for any new redness, itching, swelling, or rash after use and stop use if these occur. In rare cases, if your child has trouble breathing or significant swelling, seek emergency care. Regulatory notes: the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists it as safe for limited use in foods, and Environment Canada has classified it as not expected to be toxic, not persistent, and not likely to build up in the body — these sources support the low-risk assessment.
