For children aged 5 years and older (school-age children, kids, older kids, teens), proline is generally safe when used on the skin. It’s a natural amino acid and safety reviews from government and cosmetic experts show low concern for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth.
Use products that list proline as an ingredient as directed. Do a small patch test on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours before wider use, especially for children with sensitive skin. Don’t put products containing proline on open cuts or raw skin. Keep lotions and creams away from the eyes and mouth, and supervise children so they don’t eat topical products.
Stop use and see a doctor if your child develops redness, swelling, a rash, or any breathing trouble. This advice is based on safety reviews by agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Environment Canada and assessments by cosmetic safety reviewers. Also note: some product certification programs may require extra documentation for ingredients—follow the product label and choose trusted brands if you have concerns.
