ℹ️General Overview

For kids 5 years and older (school-age children, kids, preteens), isoamyl laurate is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s a light oil used to soften skin and is not known to cause long-term health problems at normal use levels.

What to Do

Before using a new product, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products as directed and avoid putting them on cuts or sore skin. If your child gets redness, itching, or a rash, stop using the product and rinse the area with water. If the reaction is severe or breathing is affected, seek medical help.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for signs of skin irritation and avoid getting the product in the eyes or inhaling sprays; those irritation notes come from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the environmental note comes from Environment Canada.
