For children age 5 and up (school-age kids, older children, preteens), this ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. Overall health risks like cancer or long-term reproductive harm are considered low, but some people may get irritation.
✅What to Do
Use products that include this ingredient as directed. For a child’s first use, try a small patch on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Avoid applying to broken or very red skin and keep products away from the eyes and mouth. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, choose products formulated for sensitive skin and consider testing first. Stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, swelling, rash, or eye irritation.
⚠️Warnings
A safety review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes it is allowed in cosmetics with some use limits and that skin, eye or lung irritation has been reported though evidence is limited. Watch for signs of irritation (redness, blistering, hives, eye watering, coughing or breathing trouble). If severe irritation or breathing difficulty occurs, seek medical care immediately. Do not use on infants under 5 unless directed by a pediatrician.
