5+ year old children • Skin contact product
For school-age children (5 years and up), wood pulp used on the skin is very safe. It’s a natural absorbent found in wipes and bandages and is not expected to cause harm.
Use products containing wood pulp as directed. For children with sensitive skin, try a small patch test on the arm first. Don’t apply products with wood pulp to deep cuts or open wounds. If your child gets any redness, itching or swelling, stop use and rinse the area. If swallowed, contact poison control or a doctor.
The main safety information comes from Environment Canada, which classifies wood pulp as not expected to be toxic and a low health concern. Still, avoid putting wood-pulp-containing products in your child’s mouth, and avoid using them on broken skin. Watch for signs of irritation (redness, itching, rash) and stop use if they appear.
