✅What to Do
Use products made for children or regular skin products that list this ingredient following the label. Do a small patch test on a forearm before using widely (apply a little, wait 24 hours).

If your child has very sensitive skin or a history of allergies, choose simple, fragrance-free products and check with your pediatrician.
