5+ year old children • Skin contact product
This ingredient is commonly used to help creams and sunscreens spread and feel nice on the skin. For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and teens) it is considered low risk when used on the skin.
Use products that contain this ingredient as directed and meant for children when possible. Before using a new product on a child’s face or large area, test a small patch of skin (inside of the forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or a rash. Avoid putting the product on broken or very irritated skin. If the product is a spray, try to avoid inhaling the spray and do not use directly on the face — spray into hands first and then apply.
There is a note from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review that this ingredient may cause irritation to skin, eyes, or lungs, but the evidence is limited. Watch for signs of irritation: redness, itching, swelling, watery eyes, coughing, or breathing trouble. If any of these happen, stop use and rinse the area; contact your child’s doctor if symptoms are moderate or do not get better. Other concerns such as cancer, allergies, and effects on development or reproduction are rated low in safety summaries and are not considered a main risk.
