5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids 5 years and older, this ingredient is considered very safe in skin products. It helps thicken lotions and absorb moisture.
Use in creams, lotions, or pressed powders as directed. If using a loose powder, tap a small amount into your hand and smooth it on the skin away from the nose and mouth. Use on healthy skin and avoid open cuts or oozing rashes. Stop if any redness or itching shows up.
Avoid letting your child breathe in powder or spray mists; do not create clouds of dust and keep it away from the face (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review guidance on inhaling powders). If your child has a known corn allergy, test a tiny spot first or choose a corn‑free option (source: reports in medical literature). Always follow the product’s directions and keep loose powders out of reach of younger siblings who might inhale or swallow them (source: product safety labels).
