Is this kid-friendly to use Sucrose?
ℹ️General Overview
Sucrose (table sugar) is generally safe to use on the skin of school-age children (5 years and older). Reviews by government bodies find it unlikely to cause harm when used in normal skincare products.
✅What to Do
Use products that list sucrose as an ingredient the way the product label says. Do a small patch test first on the inside of the arm. Don't put sucrose-containing creams or scrubs on cuts, open sores, or very irritated skin. If you see redness, swelling, a rash, or other irritation, stop use and rinse the area. Keep products out of reach of young children so they don't eat them.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reaction and stop use if these occur. Government evaluations (Environment Canada) list sucrose as not expected to be toxic and not likely to accumulate in the body, and industry guidance (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes there can be recommendations about concentration and purity in certain product types—so stick to products made for kids or general skincare. Avoid applying sweet, sticky products repeatedly to broken skin because sugar can attract microbes or cause stickiness.
