ℹ️General Overview

For adults: this ingredient is generally safe in skin products. It has low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on reproduction. The biggest practical issue is that it can sometimes cause mild irritation for sensitive people.

✅What to Do

Use products that contain this ingredient as directed. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test on your inner arm before using on a larger area. Avoid applying to broken or very inflamed skin and keep products away from the eyes. If you get mild irritation, rinse the area and stop using the product; see a doctor if the reaction is strong or does not get better.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for skin, eye, or breathing irritation — this comes from a safety review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (noting possible irritation). Regulators such as the U.S. food regulator (FDA) have allowed limited food uses, and Environment Canada classifies it as a low human health priority and not likely to build up in the body or the environment. If you have a history of skin reactions or asthma, be extra cautious and consider avoiding products with high concentrations.
