5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For kids and children aged 5 and up, sucrose polystearate is generally safe in creams and lotions. It’s a common, mild ingredient that helps products blend and feels gentle on the skin.
Before using a new product on your child’s skin, test a small patch (inside forearm) and wait 24 hours. Use products made for children when possible, avoid applying to cuts or very sore skin, and keep products out of reach so they aren’t swallowed.
Watch for any signs of irritation: redness, itching, swelling or a rash. If that happens, stop use and wash the area with water. Avoid contact with eyes and do not let children ingest the product. These precautions come from the ingredient’s provided safety data, which rates main concerns as low but still advises normal skin-safety steps.
