ℹ️General Overview
For adults, Tropolone is usually low risk when used on the skin. It’s commonly used to prevent bacterial or fungal growth in products. Most safety listings find little concern for cancer, reproduction, or long-term harm, but there are some notes about possible skin irritation.
✅What to Do
Use products that list Tropolone as directed. If you have sensitive skin or a history of contact allergy, do a small patch test first (apply a tiny amount to the inside of the forearm or behind the ear and wait 24–48 hours). Stop use if you see redness, itching, swelling, or a rash. Avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin.
