ℹ️General Overview

For school-aged kids (5 years and older), dipotassium phosphate is generally low risk when used on the skin. It’s often used to help keep a product’s pH steady. Serious health risks like cancer or long-term effects are not expected. A small number of people may have mild skin or eye irritation.

✅What to Do

Use products with this ingredient exactly as the product label says. If your child has sensitive skin, do a patch test: put a small amount on the inside of the forearm and watch for 24 hours for any redness, itching, or swelling. Avoid putting products with this ingredient on broken or inflamed skin. Rinse immediately if it gets in the eyes.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for any redness, stinging, itching, or swelling after applying — irritation is the main concern according to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. If your child has a known skin condition or severe sensitivity, talk with your pediatrician before regular use. While the FDA notes it can be safe for limited food use, topical products are not for eating. Environment Canada evaluations indicate it is not expected to build up in the environment or in the body.
