For adults, sucralose used on the skin is generally low risk. It does not easily get into the body through skin and is not linked to major health problems at the levels used in personal care products.
Use products from well-known brands that list full ingredients. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test on your inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. If you see redness, itching, or swelling, stop use and rinse the area. If you are concerned about product purity, pick products that follow industry safety guidance.
Watch for skin reactions (allergic or irritant) and stop use if they occur. There is a documented environmental concern that sucralose can persist and build up in the environment (source: Organohalogen Pollutants and Human Health). Also note that industry guidance recommends limits on concentration and control of impurities (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review), and regulators have set limited allowed uses in food (source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration).
