Is this kid-friendly to use Glucose?
ℹ️General Overview
Glucose is a simple sugar used in skin products to help keep skin moist. For kids 5 years and older (school-age children), it is generally very safe when used on the skin.
✅What to Do
Use products that list glucose on the label as directed (for example shampoos, body washes, lotions). Do not apply to open cuts or sores. Avoid letting children eat or lick skincare products. If your child has very sensitive skin, try a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
