âšī¸General Overview
For a toddler (1-2 years), benzyl acetate is probably low risk when used occasionally in small amounts. It is a fragrance ingredient and is not thought to cause cancer or build up in the body. However, a national toxicology program has noted a small concern about possible hormone effects.
â What to Do
If you find this ingredient on a product for your 1-2 year old: prefer fragrance-free products for everyday use; if you do use a product with benzyl acetate, use it sparingly and not every day. Test a tiny spot of skin first and wait 24 hours for a reaction. Avoid applying near the mouth, eyes, or broken skin. Stop use and talk with your pediatrician if you see a rash, redness, swelling, or unusual behavior.
â ī¸Warnings
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, rash, scratching). A federal toxicology program (National Toxicology Program) has listed a low-level concern for hormone (endocrine) effects â that is why frequent, whole-body use in young children is not recommended. The International Agency for Research on Cancer evaluated it and did not find it likely to cause cancer. Keep products with fragrances out of reach and do not let toddlers lick or chew scented products.
