For children (age 5 and older, school-age kids and teens), cinnamyl alcohol is most likely to cause skin allergy or irritation. Most other long-term risks are low.
✅What to Do
If a product lists cinnamyl alcohol or has a fragrance, do a small patch test first: put a tiny amount on the inside of the child’s forearm and watch for 24–48 hours. Avoid using products with this ingredient on children who have eczema, very sensitive skin, or broken skin. Keep use occasional and avoid near the eyes, mouth, and diapers. If your child has a history of fragrance allergies, choose fragrance-free products.
