5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on normal, unbroken skin. It’s a thickening ingredient used in creams and wipes and is not linked to cancer or developmental harm in safety checks.
Use products that are made for or tested on children, apply to intact skin only, avoid sprays or mists that could be breathed in, and do a small patch test on your child’s inner arm before wider use. If a product lists batch testing or contaminant screening from the maker, prefer that product.
Some ingredient screening reports have flagged possible contamination with methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, or benzene. Industry safety reviewers also note a small risk of skin or eye irritation and say the ingredient should be used within formulation limits. Because of these concerns, avoid using this ingredient on babies or infants, avoid applying to cuts or irritated skin, don't let your child inhale sprays or mists, and stop use and see a doctor if you notice redness, swelling, blisters, or breathing trouble.
