5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids), Coco-Caprylate is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s a smoothing ingredient often found in lotions and wipes and has a very low chance of serious harm.
Use products with this ingredient as directed. If you’re trying a product for the first time, do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Keep it away from the child’s eyes and mouth. If your child has very sensitive skin or eczema, choose simpler, fragrance-free products and check with your child’s doctor before regular use.
A cosmetic safety review noted the main concern is possible irritation to the skin, eyes, or breathing in sensitive people. Watch for redness, rash, stinging, swelling, or breathing trouble after use. If any of these happen, stop use and see a doctor. Also avoid using on broken or raw skin.
