ℹ️General Overview
For children (5 years, school-age kids, older children and teens), PPG-9 is generally low risk when used on the skin. It’s commonly used in small amounts in creams and lotions. Most experts consider it safe with some limits, but a few authorities have flagged possible irritation and rare concerns in some studies.
✅What to Do
Use products that contain PPG-9 as directed for kids aged 5 and up. Do a small patch test first (apply a pea-sized amount to the inside forearm and wait 24 hours). Avoid putting products on broken or very red skin. Use kid-formulated products when possible and keep use to the recommended amounts and areas.

Sources of these warnings: Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes limited irritation and use restrictions; Environment Canada flagged possible organ system toxicity in some assessments; FDA notes limited food uses.
