✅What to Do
Before putting a new product on a child’s skin, try a small patch on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use products as directed and avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin. If your child has very sensitive skin, eczema, or known allergies, choose products clearly labeled for sensitive skin and consider asking your child’s doctor.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any redness, itching, swelling, or rash after use and stop the product if these appear. Some safety reviews note there are limits on concentration and some missing data about maximum use levels (information comes from industry safety panels and reviewers). Also, certain product verification or certification programs may restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety documentation. If irritation is severe or the reaction spreads, contact your pediatrician.
