If you’re an adult using a product with this ingredient: do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm first, use the product as directed, avoid getting it in your eyes, do not apply to open cuts or broken skin, and stop use if you get redness, itching, swelling or other irritation. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have very sensitive skin, check with your healthcare provider before use.
Some official agencies have noted limited reports of skin or eye irritation (for example the European Chemicals Agency). Another agency recorded a single limited mutagen note (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), while other regulators (Environment Canada, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) view it as low concern. Also, some product verification programs may restrict its use unless manufacturers provide extra safety data. If you notice a rash, swelling, eye irritation, or other concerning symptoms, stop use and see a healthcare provider. Keep products out of reach of children.
