Use products that list this ingredient as directed. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test on the inside of your arm before widespread use. Avoid getting products into your eyes. Stop using the product if you get redness, itching, burning, or swelling. If you are pregnant or nursing and worried, check with your healthcare provider.
A safety review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review noted possible skin, eye, or lung irritation and set some use limits for cosmetic formulations. Watch for signs of irritation (redness, stinging, swelling, or eye discomfort). If you have a known skin allergy, choose products formulated for sensitive skin and test first. If you have a severe reaction, seek medical help.
