1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), this seaweed extract can be okay in small amounts, but there is a moderate concern because seaweed can carry iodine and heavy metals. The ingredient itself is not known to cause common allergic or developmental problems, but contamination is the main issue.
Pick products from brands that test and publish results for heavy metals and iodine. Do a small patch test on your child’s arm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid using it on broken or irritated skin, and do not let your toddler put the product in their mouth. Use sparingly and not every day until you know how your child’s skin reacts.
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, or any unusual behavior after use. Avoid products that do not show testing for impurities or that list high concentrations of seaweed extract. Industry safety reviewers recommend limits on impurities and concentrations — that is why testing and clear sourcing matter. If you see signs of irritation or are worried about heavy metals or iodine exposure, stop use and ask your child’s healthcare provider.
