For adults, cetearyl isononanoate is generally considered low risk when used on the skin. It acts as a skin-softening ingredient and most safety reviews find low concern for cancer, allergies, or effects on reproduction.
Use products as directed. If you have sensitive skin, test a small area first before using more widely. For creams and lotions, apply to intact skin only. If a product is sold as a spray, avoid breathing the spray. Stop use if you get redness, burning, or eye irritation.
Industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note possible irritation to skin, eyes, or lungs and also point out gaps in the available safety data and recommended limits on concentration or product types. Do not use on broken or irritated skin, avoid inhaling sprays containing the ingredient, and discontinue and rinse if irritation occurs. Seek medical advice if irritation is severe or persistent.
