✅What to Do
If you use a product with this ingredient on a child 5+, do a small patch test first on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Don’t put it on cuts or sore skin. If your child has a known food allergy to soy, wheat, or other vegetables, avoid products with this ingredient or talk to your pediatrician before use. Prefer products that list the ingredient source and keep usage occasional until you know your child tolerates it.
⚠️Warnings
What to watch for: rare allergic contact rash (because it’s a plant protein) — stop use if redness, swelling, itching, or blisters appear. There are industry and government notes about safe concentrations and use limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review), and one lab test in non-mammal cells showed a mutation signal though human studies and reviews do not indicate a mutagenic risk (EPA; peer-reviewed literature). Also, some product-certification programs restrict its use unless manufacturers provide extra safety data. If you see a product that says it uses this ingredient under special restriction, consider choosing a different product for your child.
