For kids age 5 and up (school-age children, preteens, teens): this is a fragrance ingredient with low risk when used on the skin in normal amounts. Regulators generally consider it low concern for cancer, allergy and reproductive effects.
If a product for your child lists this ingredient, use a small amount the first time and keep the product out of the eyes and mouth. Do a simple patch test on the forearm and wait 24 hours: if there is no redness, swelling, or itch, it’s likely okay to use. Choose fragrance-free products if your child has eczema or very sensitive skin. Always stop use and rinse if you see irritation.
Watch for skin redness, itching, rash or swelling — these are the main things to watch for and come from reports of rare fragrance sensitivity. Also note some product programs limit use of this ingredient unless the maker provides extra safety documentation (this is a product-restriction point noted by regulators). Sources: safety listings and reviews from regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Environment Canada.
