5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children (age 5+, school-age kids and teens) this ingredient is usually okay in small amounts in skin products. The main issue is that it can cause skin allergies or irritation in some people, and there are industry limits on how it should be used.
Use products labeled for children or from trusted brands that follow safety limits. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before wider use. Avoid applying to broken, irritated, or large areas of skin. Start with rinse-off products or low‑leave-on exposure. If your child has a known sensitivity to pine/rosin/adhesives, skip products with this ingredient.
There is a moderate allergy/skin reaction risk and industry recommendations that restrict concentration and product types (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). It can act as a penetration enhancer — avoid on broken skin (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). There are notes about contamination with related compounds and that the ingredient is also used in food/additives, so cumulative exposure may occur (US FDA). Watch for redness, itching, bumps, swelling or breathing problems; stop use and seek medical care if severe.
