For adults: this ingredient is generally safe for use on normal skin in creams and lotions. Health concerns are considered low, but experts recommend limits on how it is used.
Use products from reputable brands that list ingredients and follow directions. Do a small patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before using widely. Don’t put products with this ingredient on broken or inflamed skin. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your healthcare provider before regular use.
Industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) recommend restrictions on concentration and product types and note it can increase skin absorption of other ingredients. Watch for signs of irritation or allergic reaction (redness, itching, swelling) and stop use if these occur. Because some safety conclusions are based on related chemicals rather than extensive direct tests, there is some uncertainty about very high or long-term exposure.
