For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids, tweens, teens), this fragrance ingredient is usually low risk for long-term harm. The main concern is that it can cause skin allergies or irritation in some people.
If you plan to use a product that lists this ingredient on a child 5 or older: 1) Do a patch test first — put a small amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for a rash. 2) Start with products that are not intended for the face, eyes, or broken skin. 3) Choose fragrance-free products for children with eczema or known sensitivities. 4) If a rash, redness, swelling, or itching appears, stop use immediately and wash the area; seek medical advice if it gets worse.
Watch for allergic skin reactions (redness, rash, swelling, itching). The warning about allergy comes from the EU Cosmetics Directive, which lists strong evidence this ingredient can act as an allergen. Other safety checks (from Environment Canada and related agencies) indicate low risk for cancer or long-term body buildup, but the allergy risk is the main issue to watch in children. Avoid using products with this ingredient on children with known fragrance allergies or active eczema, and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin.
