1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal amounts in creams and lotions. It is mainly a thickener and most studies show low risk for cancer, allergy, or effects on growth.
Choose products from trusted brands, use them as directed, and avoid putting products that list this ingredient on very large areas of a toddler’s skin many times a day. If you notice any redness, rash, or irritation, stop use and rinse the area with water. Prefer rinse-off formulations (bath products) for frequent use and only use leave-on products in small amounts.
There is a concern about possible contamination with chemicals such as methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, or benzene if the ingredient is not properly purified. This concern comes from industry safety reviews and impurity reports (for example, findings referenced by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review and ingredient contamination notes). For that reason, avoid products from unknown or unverified sources and check that manufacturers report safety or purity testing.
