5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, tweens, teens), cetearyl olivate is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s made from olive oil and helps keep creams and lotions smooth. Most children do not have problems with it.
If you plan to use a product containing this ingredient: 1) Do a patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before widespread use. 2) Avoid putting the product on broken, very red, or irritated skin. 3) Follow the product’s directions for amount and frequency. 4) If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
Safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note it is generally safe but may cause mild skin or eye irritation in some people and is allowed with some use or concentration limits. Watch for redness, itching, stinging, swelling, or any new rash after use and stop the product if these occur. If breathing problems or severe reactions happen, seek medical help. Keep all skincare products out of reach of younger children.
