Calcium gluconate used on the skin of toddlers (1-2 years) is generally safe. Authorities consider it low concern when used in products made for skin care.
Use products that are specifically made or labeled for babies and toddlers. Do a small patch test on a thigh or inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Start with products at low concentration and avoid using on broken, irritated, or very red skin. Stop use if you see a rash, swelling, or other irritation and wash the area with water. If your child swallows a product, call your local poison control or pediatrician.
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reaction and stop use if these occur. Some product standards recommend limits on concentration or require proof of safe use in verified products (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Regulatory sources describe it as safe for limited uses in food (FDA) and not expected to be toxic (Environment Canada). Avoid products not intended for children and avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or on damaged skin.
