ℹ️General Overview

For children 5 years and older, milk protein used on the skin is usually safe for most kids. It is not expected to be toxic. A small number of people can have skin reactions, especially if they are allergic to milk.

✅What to Do

If you want to use a product with milk protein on a child 5 or older: 1) Check the label for milk protein ingredients. 2) Do a patch test: put a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. 3) Avoid using it on broken or irritated skin and keep it away from the eyes and mouth. 4) Stop use if you see redness, itching, swelling, blisters, or any breathing problems. 5) If your child has a known milk allergy, do not use products with milk protein without talking to your doctor.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for skin redness, itching, swelling, or other signs of an allergic reaction — this concern comes from medical reports noted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Government reviews (Environment Canada) say milk protein is not expected to be toxic when used on skin, but industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note there are recommended limits and product-type considerations. If a reaction is severe (trouble breathing, swelling of face or throat), get emergency medical help right away.
