How can I tell if my child is sensitive to certain fragrance ingredients?
Recognizing sensitivity to fragrance ingredients in children can be approached by observing both physical and behavioral symptoms. Signs of sensitivity may include skin reactions, such as redness, rashes, or hives, as well as respiratory symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or sneezing. Headaches or fussiness can also indicate a reaction to certain scents. When introducing new fragrance products, apply only a small amount and do so in a well-ventilated area, ideally away from where your child spends most of their time. Testing skin products on a small area of skin can help identify potential sensitivities. Keep track of any patterns in reactions to certain scents or ingredients to better understand any specific triggers. For peace of mind, consult with a healthcare provider if sensitivities persist.
