5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children (5 years, school-age kids, and teens): hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is generally gentle and used to hydrate skin. The available ingredient assessment flags only low-level concerns, so it’s considered low risk for normal topical use in this age group.
Use products with this ingredient as directed and in small amounts. If trying a new product on your child, do a quick patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Avoid putting the product in the eyes or mouth, and don’t apply it to open cuts. Choose formulations made for sensitive skin or children when possible. Stop use and rinse with water if you see irritation, and call your pediatrician if a strong reaction or swelling occurs.
The ingredient safety assessment data indicates low concern for cancer, allergies/immune effects, developmental or reproductive harm, and use restrictions — so these are not high risks. Still, watch for allergic reactions or skin irritation (source: the provided ingredient safety assessment data). Also remember that other ingredients in the product (fragrances, preservatives) can cause problems even if this ingredient is low risk. Avoid use on infants under 6 months without medical advice and consult your child’s healthcare provider if you have concerns.
