5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5+ years) this ingredient is very low risk when used on the skin. It mostly sits on the surface, does not usually cause cancer or developmental harm, and rarely causes strong allergic reactions.
If you see this ingredient on a product for your child, you generally do not need to worry. Still: use products made for children when possible, try a small patch on the inside of the forearm first if your child has sensitive skin, avoid using it on open cuts, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, itching or a rash.
Safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note manufacturers should control purity and how the ingredient is used. Also, some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless makers provide extra safety data — if a product claims special verification, check the label or contact the maker. Watch for any signs of allergic reaction or irritation and avoid use on broken skin. If you have concerns, especially for children with eczema or known allergies, check with your pediatrician.
