For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and teens), Ethylene Brassylate is considered low risk when it appears in skin products. Authorities that review chemicals have found low concerns for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth and reproduction, and do not expect it to build up in the body or harm the environment.
If your child is 5 or older, products that list this ingredient are generally okay for regular use on intact skin. To be safe: do a small patch test first (apply a tiny amount to the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours), avoid putting fragranced products near the eyes or mouth, and stop use if the skin becomes red, itchy, or irritated. If your child has eczema, very sensitive skin, or breathing issues, prefer fragrance-free products or check with your pediatrician.
Watch for skin reactions (redness, itching, rash) and stop use if these appear. The safety notes come from regulatory reviews — for example, the U.S. food authority permits limited use in food, and Environment Canada has evaluated it as not expected to be toxic or persistent. Also remember that a product labeled simply as “fragrance” can contain many different ingredients, so if your child has sensitivities choose fragrance-free items.
