For children aged 5 years and older (kids, school-age children, preteens and teens), sodium phytate is generally low risk when used in normal skin products. It mainly helps keep formulas stable and is not known to cause major long-term harm at the levels used in cosmetics.
Use products that list sodium phytate as an ingredient according to the product directions. Apply to intact skin only and avoid the eye area. If your child has very sensitive skin, patch test a small area first (apply a small amount and wait 24 hours) before regular use.
Watch for signs of irritation (redness, stinging, rash) or any eye irritation. Avoid applying on cuts, scrapes, or broken skin. The supplied safety data notes limited evidence of skin, eye, or respiratory irritation and some regulatory restrictions at high exposures or in certain formulations — so stick to finished products that follow product instructions and avoid concentrated or industrial forms.
