5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids aged 5 and up (school-age children), this ingredient is generally very safe in creams and lotions. It’s used to keep products smooth and mixed, and long-term health risks are considered very low.
Before regular use, try a small patch test on the inside of the child’s arm and wait 24 hours. Use products as directed, avoid putting them on broken skin, and do not use aerosol or spray forms around children to prevent breathing them in. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, talk to your pediatrician first.
Watch for signs of irritation (redness, itching, stinging, or eye irritation) and stop use if these occur. This irritation concern comes from a public safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) that noted possible irritation though evidence is limited. If irritation is severe or does not go away, contact your child’s healthcare provider.
