✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with this ingredient on a 5+ year old: 1) Do a small patch test first on the child's inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours for any reaction. 2) Use products made for children or mild formulations and start with a small amount. 3) Avoid using on broken, irritated, or eczema‑affected skin unless advised by your child's doctor. 4) If the child has a history of sensitive skin or allergies, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of a skin reaction: redness, itching, swelling, blisters, or a spreading rash. If any of these happen, stop use and see a doctor. Be extra cautious if the product contains high concentrations or other active ingredients. Note: the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has identified insufficient data to fully determine safety in all populations, so err on the side of caution and seek medical advice for children with sensitive skin or a history of allergies.
