For adults: taurine in skincare is generally very safe. Authorities consider it acceptable for limited use and do not expect it to cause long-term harm.
If you are an adult and want to try a product with taurine, use it as the label directs. Do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm for 24 hours before regular use. Avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin and keep it away from your eyes. If you have sensitive skin, start with products that have a low concentration and watch how your skin reacts.
Stop use and see a doctor if you get persistent redness, swelling, itching, or a rash. Regulatory reviews from Environment Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration indicate low concern for toxicity and limited approved uses, but individual allergic reactions can still happen. Do not use products meant for adults on infants or very young children unless a pediatrician says it is safe.
