5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids aged 5 and up (children, school-age kids), this ingredient is generally safe in creams and lotions. It’s an ingredient that helps mix oils and water and has low signs of harm in available safety notes.
Use products that are made for children or from reputable brands. Before using a new product all over your child’s skin, try a small patch on the inside of their forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Don’t apply to open or very chapped skin. If your child has known sensitive skin or allergies, be extra cautious and consider consulting your pediatrician.
The safety review noted that the assessment was based on a related chemical and that manufacturers may set limits on concentration and control impurities (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Because of that, parents should avoid products of unknown quality, stop use if irritation or any allergic-type reaction occurs, and seek medical advice for persistent reactions. Common concerns like cancer, allergies, and effects on growth or reproduction are reported as low in the available safety information, so they are not the main worry here.
