5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 and up (school-age kids and teens), Sorbitan Olivate is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a common, mild ingredient made from olive fatty acids that helps lotions and creams spread and feel smooth.
Use products that are meant for children when possible. If your child has sensitive skin, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before regular use. Avoid products that also contain strong fragrances or other known irritants. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, or a rash.
Watch for usual signs of skin allergy or irritation (redness, itching, swelling, hives). If your child has a known allergy to olive-derived ingredients, avoid use. Note: industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review, CIR) point out that safety assessments depend on reported product concentrations and there are some data and restriction notes from those reviews—so some product verification programs may ask manufacturers for extra safety documentation. If you have concerns, check the product label and contact the manufacturer.
