For kids aged 5 and up (school-age children), this ingredient is generally low risk in normal skin products. There is only limited evidence suggesting small risks for hormone-related activity and mild irritation.
Use products that contain this ingredient as directed and only on intact skin. Do a small patch test on the child's inner forearm before using more widely. Keep products away from eyes and mouth. If your child has sensitive skin, choose simpler, gentle formulas and stop use if any irritation appears.
Watch for redness, itching, rash, stinging, or eye irritation. These warnings come from toxicology and ingredient reviews (National Toxicology Program notes possible hormone-related activity; Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the European Chemicals Agency report limited evidence of skin or eye irritation). If any of these signs appear, stop use and rinse the area; see a pediatrician if symptoms persist. Also avoid using this ingredient on infants or very young toddlers, as they can be more sensitive.
