My child licked some moisturising cream. Will they be OK?

We formulate and design our beauty products with due diligence to safety. There are a few exceptions, but most products will not cause significant damage if eaten or drunk by accident, if it’s only a small amount. As first aid, wipe the inside of the mouth with wet gauze, and give water or milk to drink (to dilute what has been drunk). Keep an eye on your child for a while, and if you are concerned, take them to see a doctor, if possible bringing a package with the product ingredients displayed. However, nail polish and nail polish remover are extremely dangerous as they may cause mucosal inflammation. Please take the utmost care to ensure that none gets in your child’s mouth, and if it does, see a doctor immediately. Small children are very attracted to colourful beauty products. Always store your beauty products where your child cannot access them, and make sure you replace caps firmly after use.
