My child has sensitive skin — can they use this and what should I watch for?

The formula includes aloe vera to help keep skin from feeling dry after application, which is useful in summer when sun, wind, and frequent washing already stress the skin barrier. However, the product also contains Citriodiol (derived from lemon eucalyptus), which gives a fresh herbal-citrus scent, and DEET — both of which can cause stinging or redness in children with very reactive skin. Before the first full use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small patch on the inner forearm and wait a few hours. If no itching, redness, or bumps appear, it is likely safe to use more broadly. If any irritation develops during use, wash the area with mild soap and water and discontinue the product. Do not apply to already irritated, sunburned, or broken skin. Consult a pharmacist or doctor if the reaction persists or worsens.
