Use products that list this ingredient as directed. If you have normal skin you can use creams or lotions that contain it as part of your routine. If you have sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of reactions, do a small patch test first (apply a tiny amount on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours). Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin and keep the product away from the eyes. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and worried, check with your healthcare provider, although available reviews show low concern.
A cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) notes possible skin, eye, or lung irritation in some people and that safe use may depend on limits in concentration or how the ingredient is used. Also, some product verification programs require extra documentation before approving products that contain this ingredient. Stop use if you get persistent redness, itching, burning, swelling, or other signs of an allergic reaction, and seek medical help for severe reactions.
