1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), Bacillus Ferment used on skin is usually low risk but there are a couple of cautions. One official agency has flagged a possible concern for organ system effects and there is limited evidence it can irritate skin or eyes. Toddlers’ skin is stronger than a newborn’s but still developing, so be careful.
If you try a product with Bacillus Ferment on your toddler: do a patch test first (small dab on inner forearm or thigh, wait 24 hours). Use only small amounts and avoid the eyes, mouth and broken or inflamed skin. Start with products used briefly and not over large areas. If your child has sensitive skin or a lot of product ingredients, ask your pediatrician before regular use.
The main source of concern is a classification by the European Chemicals Agency that lists organ system toxicity for this ingredient, and the same agency notes limited evidence of skin and eye irritation. Watch for redness, swelling, itching, blisters, eye watering or any breathing changes. Stop use right away if you see these signs and call your pediatrician. Avoid using it on infants under 1 year without medical advice.
