YES - Generally Safe
Danger Score: 1 (Lower is safer)
Quick Answer: Adipic Acid is generally considered safe for 1-2 year old toddlers when used in topical products. Watch for toddler-specific sensitivities.

ℹ️General Overview

For toddlers (1-2 years), adipic acid is generally low risk for long-term harm but can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs. It is usually safe in small amounts in baby products, especially rinse-off items, but you should be cautious with leave-on products.

What to Do

Use products made for toddlers or labeled for sensitive skin. Do a small patch test on the inner thigh or forearm and wait 24 hours. Prefer rinse-off products (bath products, shampoos) over leave-on when possible. Follow product instructions and use the smallest amount needed.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for redness, rash, swelling, stinging, watery eyes, coughing, or trouble breathing — these are signs of irritation (source: EU hazard labeling and industry safety reviews). Avoid using on broken skin, near the eyes, or in products with unknown concentrations. Note that some product programs restrict or require proof for using this ingredient, and industry reviews recommend limits on concentration and different rules for leave-on versus rinse-off products.
