5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and teens), Glycine Soja Sterols is generally safe to use on normal skin. It’s a plant-based ingredient that helps moisturize skin and has low reported risk.
If you plan to use a product with this ingredient on a child, do a small patch test first on a small area of skin and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use the product as the label says and avoid putting it on broken or irritated skin. If your child has a known soy allergy, check with your pediatrician before use or avoid products containing soy-derived ingredients.
Watch for any rash, itching, swelling, or irritation after use and stop the product if these happen. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (industry safety review) notes recommendations for safe use and manufacturing controls—this supports the low-risk rating but also means products should be made to good manufacturing standards. If your child has a known soy allergy, avoid or get medical advice before use.
