5+ year old children • Skin contact product
This ingredient helps a product feel smooth and stay on the skin. For children 5 years and older (school-age kids, preteens and teens) it is considered very low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin.
Use products with this ingredient as directed on the label. Before widespread use on a child’s skin, try a small patch on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Keep products away from broken skin, eyes and mouth. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, consider using products made for sensitive skin or a pediatrician-recommended product.
Safety listings note only very low-level concerns for cancer, allergy and reproductive effects, so these are not expected to be a risk at normal use. The main practical risk for children is skin irritation or an allergic reaction—if you see redness, swelling, itching, or a rash, stop use and consult your pediatrician. This advice is based on the public safety review used for this evaluation.
