adults • Skin contact product
For adults: this ingredient is generally considered safe when used in regular skin creams and lotions. Risks such as cancer or effects on pregnancy are reported as low. There is some uncertainty because reviewers used data from related chemicals.
Use products that list this ingredient as directed. Do a small patch test (apply a tiny amount on the inside of your wrist or elbow and wait 24–48 hours) before regular use if you have sensitive skin. Avoid putting products on open cuts or very irritated skin. If you notice redness, itching, swelling, or burning, stop using the product and rinse the area.
Watch for signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (rash, redness, itching, swelling) and stop use if these occur. Avoid eye contact and do not use on broken skin. Note: the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has flagged that some safety assessments were based on related chemicals and recommends attention to concentration and impurities — if a product does not list concentrations or purity, contact the manufacturer or choose a product with clearer information.
