5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children 5 years and older (school-age kids and teens), this ingredient is very low risk when used on the skin. It’s commonly used to help products form a smooth film and is not known to cause serious harm.
When using a new product on your child, apply a small amount to a patch of normal skin first and watch for 24–48 hours. Use products as directed (for example, sunscreens as labeled). Keep lotions and creams away from your child’s eyes and mouth. If your child has very sensitive skin, consider a product labeled for sensitive skin.
Ingredient safety references rate concerns for cancer, allergies and effects on development as low — meaning these are not considered likely risks for topical use. Still, stop use and talk to your pediatrician if your child develops redness, swelling, itching, blisters, or any other skin reaction after using a product that contains this ingredient. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin and avoid inhaling sprays that contain many ingredients.
