1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
Barley extract is generally safe for toddlers (1–2 years). Safety reviews show very low concern for cancer, allergies, or developmental effects. It’s commonly used to soften and soothe skin.
Use products made for toddlers or children and follow the product directions. Before using a new product, do a small patch test on the inside of your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid using it on broken or very irritated skin. Stop use and wash the area if your child develops a rash, swelling, itching, or any unusual reaction.
The safety listing notes only low concerns overall, but parents should still watch for allergic reactions—especially in children with known grain or barley allergy. If your child has a diagnosed cereal grain allergy or severe sensitivity, avoid products with barley extract or check with your child’s doctor first. Also avoid accidental ingestion and keep products away from your child’s mouth and eyes. If you notice irritation, contact your pediatrician.
