Is this toddler-safe to use Beeswax?
ℹ️General Overview
Safe for most toddlers when used on the skin. It helps protect and soften the skin.
✅What to Do
Use a thin layer on clean, unbroken skin. Pick simple, fragrance‑free products made with refined or organic beeswax. Patch test on a small spot inside the forearm for 24 hours before regular use. Keep out of the eyes. If your toddler tends to lick their hands, apply at nap or bedtime; small accidental amounts are not a big concern because this wax is allowed for limited use in foods.
