For children (kids, school-aged children, 5+ years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin. It’s a sugar-based ingredient often used to help creams and lotions feel smooth.
Before using a new product on your 5+ year old: 1) Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. 2) Use the product as the label directs and avoid putting it on cuts, scrapes or very irritated skin. 3) Keep creams away from eyes and mouth. 4) If your child has known sensitive skin or eczema, try products labeled for sensitive skin or ask your pediatrician first.
The ingredient safety database used for this evaluation lists only low concerns for cancer, allergies, and developmental effects and shows no special use restrictions (this is the source of the low-concern information). Even so, stop use and rinse the area if you see any redness, swelling, itching, blisters, or other signs of an allergic reaction. If symptoms are severe or don’t go away, contact your child’s doctor. Also remember that a reaction may come from other ingredients in a product, not just this one.
