5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), phospholipids are usually safe to use on the skin. They are natural fats that help condition skin and mix oil and water in creams. Overall safety concerns are reported as very low.
When using a product with phospholipids on a child: patch-test first on a small area (inside forearm) and wait 24 hours; use as directed on the label; avoid applying to broken or irritated skin; keep products away from eyes and mouth. If your child has very sensitive skin, try a small amount first or choose a product made for sensitive skin.
Stop use and rinse if you see redness, swelling, itching, or a rash. Some product-verification programs require companies to provide safety data before including this ingredient, so check the product label or company information if you prefer verified products.
