✅What to Do
Use products with this ingredient the way the product label says. Do a small patch test first on a small area of skin and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Keep products out of reach of younger children and avoid putting them on broken or irritated skin.

⚠️Warnings
The ingredient database notes only low concerns for cancer, allergies/immune effects, and developmental or reproductive effects — these are low-level flags, not strong warnings. Still, stop use and see a doctor if the child develops redness, swelling, itching, blistering, or other signs of an allergic reaction. Do not apply to open wounds, and avoid contact with eyes. Also be mindful of other ingredients in the product, which could cause problems even if this ingredient is low-risk.
