5+ year old children • Skin contact product
Sunflower seed wax is a plant-based wax used to make creams and lotions thicker and creamier. For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), it is generally safe to use on the skin.
Before full use, do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products as directed, avoid putting the product on broken skin, and keep creams away from the eyes. If your child has a known sunflower or seed allergy, check with your pediatrician before using products that include this ingredient.
The ingredient safety listing shows only low concerns for cancer, allergic reactions, and developmental effects, but because it is seed-derived, watch for skin redness, itching, hives, or swelling after first use. Stop use and seek medical help if your child has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or a severe reaction. These cautions come from the ingredient safety data reviewed for this ingredient.
