5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older, this ingredient is low risk. It helps lotions and wipes stay mixed and is usually gentle on the skin.
Use products labeled for kids when you can. Before regular use, test a small amount on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Apply to clean, intact skin only. Keep creams and wipes away from eyes and mouth. If your child develops a rash, swelling, or breathing trouble, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
Ingredient reviews note only low concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on development — meaning these are not considered a significant risk. Still, avoid putting products on broken skin, watch for any signs of allergy (redness, itching, swelling), and keep all skincare products out of reach to prevent accidental swallowing. If you are unsure, discuss with your child’s doctor.
