ℹ️General Overview
For children 5 years and older this ingredient is usually safe when used in sunscreens at the amounts normally used. It helps protect the skin from UVA rays. The chance of irritation or allergy is low, but some regulators have limits on its use and there are limited lab studies that flagged risks only at high doses.
✅What to Do
Choose sunscreens made for children or labeled for sensitive skin. Apply only as directed on the product label and avoid getting sunscreen in the eyes or on broken skin. Do a small patch test (a pea-sized amount on the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours if you are worried about sensitivity. If your child has a known skin allergy or very sensitive skin, talk with your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, rash, stinging, or eye irritation. Be aware that a European regulatory opinion and the European Chemicals Agency note limited irritation and some use restrictions; the International Agency for Research on Cancer and some animal studies show limited or high-dose signals for cancer or reproductive effects — these come from limited or high-dose studies, not normal sunscreen use. Do not use this ingredient on infants under 6 months; for younger babies follow pediatric guidance on sun protection.
