5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids and teens), this oat-derived skin ingredient is generally safe when used on normal, unbroken skin. The publicly available safety information shows very low concern for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth and reproduction.
Before using a new lotion or cream that lists this ingredient, put a small amount on a little patch of your child’s forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for any reaction. Use products made for kids when possible, keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and follow the product’s directions.
Although the safety database rates concerns as low, stop use and contact your child’s doctor if you see redness, swelling, itching, or a rash after use. If your child has a known oat or grain allergy, avoid use or ask your pediatrician first. These cautions come from the same public cosmetic ingredient database that reports low overall concerns but recommends watching for allergic reactions.
