5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For children aged 5 years and older (school-age kids, children, teens), this ingredient is low risk when used on the skin. It’s mainly used to form a thin, protective film in products and is not expected to cause long-term harm according to government and industry reviews.
Use products that contain this ingredient exactly as the label says. Before full use, test a small amount on the inside of your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid putting products with this ingredient on broken or very irritated skin, keep them away from eyes and mouth, and store them out of reach of children.
If your child develops redness, swelling, a rash, hives, or any breathing difficulty after contact, stop use and seek medical advice. Note that government reviews (Environment Canada) found no expected organ toxicity or bioaccumulation, and industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note there can be recommendations or limits on how the ingredient is used or manufactured. Also be aware that some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless the manufacturer supplies safety data—if that matters to you, choose products from trusted brands and read labels.
