For toddlers (1-2 years) this aluminum ingredient is not highly linked to cancer or developmental harm, but it is not ideal for routine use. Young children’s skin is more absorbent, and some safety reviews and regulatory lists note limits on use.
Try to avoid putting this ingredient on toddlers. Don’t use antiperspirant or sweat-control products on a 1-2 year old. If you find it in a product and you must use it: apply only occasionally, do not put it on broken, red, or irritated skin, wash the area at night, and stop use if a rash or irritation appears. Prefer simple cleaning with water and mild soap rather than products meant to stop sweating.
Safety summaries and regulatory lists note use restrictions in some countries (for example Health Canada) and flag enhanced skin absorption and some animal studies at high doses. Watch for skin irritation or rash; if the child has cuts, eczema, or persistent redness, do not use products with this ingredient. If you see a persistent rash or other concern, contact your pediatrician. Also check product labels — some regions restrict or limit this ingredient’s use in cosmetics.
