5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 and older (school-age kids), this ingredient is generally safe in normal skin products. It is a gentle moisturizing and cleansing ingredient and expert reviewers consider its overall risks low.
Use products formulated for kids or reputable brands that follow safety limits. Do a small patch test first (apply a little on inner forearm and wait 24 hours). Avoid sprays or aerosol forms around children. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
An expert review group (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) notes possible irritation to skin, eyes or lungs and recommends concentration or use limits. Because of that, avoid spray/aerosol products and stop use if you see redness, swelling, itching, watery eyes, coughing or breathing changes. Other potential concerns (cancer, allergy, reproductive effects) were rated low by expert review and are not considered a practical risk at normal product use.
