5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and preteens), this ingredient is generally safe to use on the skin in normal cosmetic products. The safety listing used for this evaluation shows very low concern levels for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or reproduction.
Use products containing this ingredient as directed. Before regular use, do a small patch test on the inside of your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for a reaction. Avoid putting the product on broken or irritated skin. If your child has a known plant or herb allergy, check with your pediatrician before using. If you see redness, itching, swelling, or blisters, stop use and wash the area with water.
Watch for signs of a skin allergic reaction (redness, itching, swelling, blisters). This comes from the ingredient safety listing used for this evaluation, which notes low-level allergy concerns — while rare, allergies are the main issue to watch for. Also avoid oral use and avoid use on open wounds. If you’re unsure, consult your child’s healthcare provider.
