For school-age children (5 years and older), capryloyl glycine is generally safe in skin products when used as directed. It is used to help condition the skin and control odor-causing bacteria. Most safety concerns are considered low.
Choose products labeled for kids when possible. Do a patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using widely. Keep products away from the eyes and do not put them on broken or very red skin. Start with a small amount the first few times your child uses the product. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, talk with your pediatrician before regular use.
A cosmetic safety review and some product verification programs note that safe use can depend on concentration and formulation and that makers may need to provide safety data (Cosmetic Ingredient Review / product verification guidance). Watch for irritation signs: redness, stinging, itching, swelling, or eye irritation. If these happen, stop use, rinse the area, and seek medical advice if symptoms are severe or do not get better.
