✅What to Do
Use products that are made for children or clearly labeled for sensitive skin. It is fine in rinse-off products such as shampoo and body wash. If you plan to use a leave-on product with this ingredient, choose one formulated for kids. Do a small patch test on the inside of the arm if your child has sensitive skin. Avoid putting it on broken skin or directly in the eyes. If your child develops redness, swelling, itching, or a rash, stop use and contact your child’s doctor.
