adults • Skin contact product
For adults: this ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin. It’s mainly used to make creams and lotions feel smooth and to help other ingredients spread. Most people won’t have problems.
Use products that contain this ingredient on normal, unbroken skin. If you have very oily or acne-prone skin, patch-test on a small area first because it can sometimes feel heavy. Avoid spraying products that contain it near your face to reduce breathing it in. Stop use and rinse if you notice redness, stinging, or irritation.
There are a few low-level safety notes from ingredient reviewers: the Cosmetic Ingredient Review found it safe for cosmetic use with some limits, and a U.S. government assessment noted animal studies showing effects at higher doses. Also there are low reports of possible skin, eye or lung irritation. Watch for signs of irritation or allergic reaction and avoid use on broken skin, near the eyes, or inhaling sprays.
