✅What to Do
Use products meant for children or follow the product label. Try a small patch test on the inside of the forearm before using a new product all over your child's skin. If your child has sensitive skin or eczema, check with your pediatrician before regular use. Keep products out of reach of children and avoid getting them in the eyes or on broken skin.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, itching, rash, or swelling — stop use if any of these happen. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) notes that safety assessments rely on related chemicals and on limits for how much of the ingredient is used in products, so avoid products that list unusually high concentrations or do not give clear ingredient information. If you see persistent irritation, contact your child's healthcare provider.
