Are There Any Risks Associated with Using Lip Balms in Children?
Generally, emollient based lip balms are safe for use in children. However, parents should be aware of potential risks:
Allergic Reactions: Some children may be allergic to specific ingredients. Always perform a patch test before regular use. Ingestion: Children may inadvertently ingest the lip balm. Ensure the product is non-toxic and safe if swallowed. Dependency: Overuse of lip balms can sometimes lead to the lips becoming dependent on the product for moisture.
