5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and older), decyl cocoate is generally safe. It is a moisturizing oil made from coconut and is used to soften skin. Major safety reviews list only low concerns.
Use products that contain decyl cocoate as directed. If your child has sensitive skin, do a small patch test (apply a tiny amount to the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours). Avoid applying to cuts or open wounds. If any redness, itching, or swelling appears, stop using the product.
A cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes possible irritation to skin, eyes, or lungs in some people, and that the ingredient is allowed with some concentration or use limits. Watch for any signs of irritation or allergic reaction and keep products away from your child’s eyes and mouth. If your child has a known coconut allergy or very reactive skin, consult your pediatrician before use.
