Use products that list this ingredient as directed. Before regular use, do a simple patch test: put a small amount on the inner forearm of the child and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. If your child has a known sunflower or seed allergy, avoid products containing this ingredient. If your child has very sensitive skin or eczema, check with your child’s pediatrician before regular use.
The provided ingredient safety data reports only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies/immunotoxicity, and developmental/reproductive effects, but parents should still watch for allergic reactions (redness, itching, hives, swelling). Stop use and wash the area if you see irritation. Seek medical care if your child has trouble breathing or a large swelling. Avoid applying to broken skin and keep products away from the eyes and mouth. If a product contains many other ingredients (fragrance, preservatives), follow the product’s warnings as those can affect safety.
