Check the product label for a full ingredient list. Before using a new product on your child, do a small patch test: apply a little behind the ear or on the inner forearm and watch for 24–48 hours. Use products made for general skin care and avoid applying to open cuts or raw skin. If redness, swelling, itching, or a rash appears, stop use and wash the area; consult your pediatrician if it continues. For babies and toddlers younger than 5 years, be extra cautious and check with a pediatrician before regular use.
