ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient can cause skin or breathing irritation in some people. Major health risks like cancer or reproductive harm are reported as low, but this ingredient is restricted in some regions, so be careful with products for young children.
✅What to Do
Prefer products made for toddlers that are fragrance-free. If a product lists this ingredient, do not use it as a leave-on cream or oil on a 1-2 year old; if it’s in a rinse-off product (bath or shampoo), use sparingly and rinse well. Before using a new product, do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to watch for redness or swelling. Keep products off the face, near the nose, and away from broken skin.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and wash with water if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or if the child coughs, wheezes, or has trouble breathing. The warning comes from regulatory reviews and safety studies: the ingredient is restricted under the EU Cosmetics Directive and has been linked to skin and respiratory irritation in reports from the European Chemicals Agency and occupational studies. Because of these findings, avoid regular or leave-on use on toddlers and seek medical help if breathing problems or severe reactions occur.
