adults • Skin contact product
For adults, this ingredient is usually safe to use on the skin. It is mainly used as a moisturizer or skin conditioner and most safety checks show low concern for serious harm.
If you are an adult using a product with this ingredient: do a small patch test first; avoid applying over broken or irritated skin; use products as directed and avoid layering many products that could increase total exposure; prefer products where the maker lists concentration or safety testing; stop use and consult a doctor if you notice redness, burning, swelling, or breathing irritation.
Pay attention to these points from safety reviews: limited evidence of skin, eye, or breathing irritation (reported by ECHA); one lab study found a mutation signal in cells (reported by EPA) — this is not the same as proven harm in people but is a reason to be cautious; industry reviewers note restrictions on concentration and product types (Cosmetic Ingredient Review); this ingredient can appear in food and multiple products, increasing total exposure (FDA). Also note some verification programs restrict its use unless the manufacturer provides safety proof. If you have a history of sensitive skin, allergies, or respiratory problems, be extra careful and consider avoiding it.
