Is this kid-friendly to use Octyldodecyl Citrate Crosspolymer?
ℹ️General Overview
For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids), this ingredient is generally considered low risk when used in creams, lotions or sunscreens on normal, unbroken skin.
✅What to Do
Use products with this ingredient as directed on the label. For first use, try a small patch on the child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Keep products away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has sensitive skin, eczema or a known allergy, choose products made for sensitive skin and test carefully.
⚠️Warnings
A reputable consumer product safety database lists any concerns for cancer, allergies and reproductive effects as low — so they are not considered significant for typical use. Still, stop use and rinse the area if you see rash, swelling, blistering, or other signs of an allergic reaction and contact your child’s healthcare provider. Also remember that safety depends on the whole product: other ingredients (not this polymer alone) can cause problems.
