For adults, sclerotium gum is generally safe when used on the skin. It’s a natural thickening ingredient with very low reported risks for cancer, allergies, or effects on reproduction.
If you’re an adult using a lotion or cream that lists sclerotium gum: do a small patch test first on your inner forearm; use the product as directed; avoid applying to broken or irritated skin; stop use if you get redness, itching, swelling, or any new skin reaction.
The ingredient listing notes that industry reviewers have recommendations about safe manufacturing and purity (Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
