5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and up) this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal amounts on the skin. It helps soften and condition skin and is not known to cause major long-term harm in this age group.
Use products made for children when possible. Before regular use, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or on cuts and rashes. If the product does not list concentration or safety information, choose a different product or one with clear labeling. If your child develops redness, a rash, swelling, or breathing changes, stop use and see a doctor.
Watch for signs of irritation (redness, stinging, eye irritation or breathing trouble) — limited evidence of irritation has been reported (European Chemicals Agency). One laboratory cell test showed a positive mutation result (Environmental Protection Agency); this type of test does not prove harm in people but is a reason for caution. Industry reviewers recommend limits on how much and how it’s used (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). This ingredient can increase how much is absorbed through skin and may add to total exposure from food or other products (US FDA), so avoid heavy daily application over large areas until you confirm your child tolerates it.
