ℹ️General Overview
For school-age children (5 years and older), sugar used on the skin is generally safe. Public safety listings show low concern for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth and development.
✅What to Do
Use products that contain sugar as directed. If trying a new product on your child, do a small patch test on the arm first. Avoid putting sticky sugar-containing products near the eyes or on broken skin. Rinse it off if it feels overly sticky or if your child complains of discomfort.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any signs of skin irritation (redness, rash, swelling) and stop use if these occur. Avoid using on open cuts or wounds. These recommendations are based on public ingredient safety listings that rate concerns for sugar as low; still, individual reactions are possible, so monitor your child and consult your pediatrician if you have concerns.
