ℹ️General Overview
For school-age children (5+ years), undecane is low risk when used on the skin in normal cosmetics. Regulatory reviews (EPA and Environment Canada) flag low concerns for cancer or allergic effects and do not expect it to build up in the body. There is a note about possible environmental harm.
✅What to Do
Use products containing undecane as directed. Do a small patch test on the inside of your child’s forearm before first use. Avoid putting the product on cuts, scrapes, or very red or irritated skin. Keep the product away from your child’s eyes and mouth and supervise use to prevent swallowing. If your child’s skin becomes irritated, rinse the area and stop using the product.
