5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older, this ingredient is generally safe when used in skin creams, lotions or similar products. It acts like a moisturizer and is considered low risk for cancer, allergies, or harm to growth based on available reviews.
Use products that are made for children when possible. Do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm before widespread use. Apply only to healthy skin and follow the product directions. If a product lists unusually high concentrations or is not intended for kids, choose a different product.
Stop use and check with your child’s doctor if you see skin redness, swelling, itching, or any rash after applying a product. Note: industry safety reviewers have pointed out limits on concentration and possible impurities in manufacturing (Cosmetic Ingredient Review), and government assessments classify the ingredient as low concern for health effects (Environment Canada). Those notes mean products are safest when made to good manufacturing standards and used at normal amounts.
