For grown-ups and adults this ingredient is usually safe when applied to normal, unbroken skin. The main worry is not the ingredient itself but possible leftover chemicals from how it was made.
Use products that list this ingredient only if the brand shares test results or states they check for manufacturing contaminants. Do a small skin patch test first if you have sensitive skin. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have major health concerns, check with your healthcare provider before using products with this ingredient.
The ingredient safety record flags contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane as a concern (these can come from manufacturing). Also some product verification programs restrict use unless manufacturers show testing for these contaminants. Avoid using products that don’t provide purity or testing information, and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. If you notice redness, swelling, or irritation, stop use and consult a clinician.
