adults • Skin contact product
For adults: this ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin. It’s an emulsifier and has very low concern for cancer, allergy, and reproductive effects. The main open question is whether it can irritate skin or eyes for some people.
If you are an adult using a product that contains this ingredient, do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm first. Use it only on unbroken skin, avoid getting it in your eyes, and stop use if you get redness, itching, burning, or a rash. If you have sensitive skin, choose products that are labeled for sensitive skin or fragrance-free.
Watch for skin or eye irritation—this is the primary concern noted in the ingredient review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). If irritation or swelling occurs, rinse the area and stop use; seek medical advice if the reaction is severe or persistent. Other potential concerns (cancer, allergies, developmental/reproductive effects, and use restrictions) are rated low in the ingredient review database.
