5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and up), this ingredient is not linked to serious long-term health problems but can cause skin, eye, or breathing irritation. Most risks are about irritation rather than cancer or developmental harm.
If you see this ingredient on a product for your child: choose formulations made for kids when possible; avoid sprays or powders that could be breathed in; test a small patch on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use; do not put it on cuts, rashes, or very sensitive skin; if your child shows redness, stinging, or coughing, wash the area and stop use and seek advice if it’s severe.
The main warning comes from official hazard labeling that lists this chemical as an irritant (skin, eyes, or lungs — EU GHS). Industry safety reviews also note restrictions on concentration and product types (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Avoid using products with this ingredient on children with eczema or very sensitive skin, and avoid aerosol/spray formats to prevent breathing exposure.
