5+ year old children • Skin contact product
Silk amino acids are small pieces of silk protein used to soften and condition skin. For kids aged 5 and up (children, young children, school-age kids), they are usually safe in regular skin or hair products.
Before using a new product on your child, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products meant for general or children's use, follow label directions, and avoid using on broken or very irritated skin. If your child has a known allergy to silk or similar proteins, avoid products with this ingredient. If any redness, swelling, itching, or blistering appears, stop use and rinse the area; call your pediatrician if it looks serious.
Safety reviewers note recommendations about concentration, purity, and manufacturing methods (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and some product verification programs restrict use unless the maker provides safety data. Watch for signs of skin reaction (redness, rash, itching). If your child has a history of sensitive skin or protein allergies, be extra cautious and consult your pediatrician before use.
