✅What to Do
You can use products that list this ingredient on children aged 5 and up. Before using a new product, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Follow the product directions, avoid applying to broken or very irritated skin, and keep products away from the eyes and mouth.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and talk to your child’s doctor if you see redness, itching, swelling, hives, or other signs of an allergic reaction. Safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note the ingredient is safe with some limits on how it’s used, and a few product certification programs may restrict it unless manufacturers provide safety data — that restriction is about product labeling and proof, not a high health danger. If your child has a history of plant-based allergies or very sensitive skin, be extra cautious.
