5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), this ingredient used on the skin is generally low risk. It is usually safe in normal amounts in creams and lotions, but there is limited safety testing and a small chance of irritation.
Use products that are made for children or say they are safe for sensitive skin. Patch-test a small area on the child’s inner arm before first use. Apply only to clean, unbroken skin and avoid the eyes and mouth. If a product lists high concentrations of this ingredient, choose a different product or ask the brand for safety information.
Stop use and rinse if you see redness, itching, swelling, or any breathing trouble. Sources of the warning include laboratory cell tests noted by the U.S. EPA (shows positive mutation results in cells), limited irritation findings from the European Chemicals Agency, and industry reviewers who note data gaps and recommend concentration limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Also be aware this ingredient can appear in more than one product or food (FDA notes use in food), so total exposure can add up.
