Use products containing this ingredient as directed. If you have normal skin, no special steps are needed. If you have sensitive skin, try a small patch test on your inner forearm first. Avoid putting the product directly in or near the eyes. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and worried, choose simpler formulations or check with your healthcare provider.
There are low-level notes from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) about possible skin, eye or lung irritation in some situations — so watch for redness, stinging, swelling, or breathing irritation. If you get irritation, stop using the product and rinse the area. Also note there are some use limits noted by the CIR for cosmetics (these are precautionary and low concern). The other possible concerns (cancer, allergies, developmental/reproductive effects) are rated low and are not expected to be a risk for adults.
