For children aged 5 and up (school-aged kids), this ingredient is considered low risk when used in regular skin products. Reviews find little evidence it causes cancer, developmental harm, or common allergic problems.
Use products that list this ingredient normally on intact skin only. Do a small patch test on your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours before regular use. Avoid putting the product on cuts, scrapes, or near the eyes and mouth. If your child has very sensitive skin or a history of allergies, ask your pediatrician before regular use.
Stop use and talk to your child’s doctor if you see redness, swelling, rash, blistering, or other signs of an allergic reaction. Some product-certification programs restrict this ingredient unless the maker provides extra safety data — this is a manufacturing/labeling restriction from industry review sources (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and related product certification guidance).
