1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years old) this wax is generally safe on the skin. It’s commonly used in lotions and balms and is rated low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects in public safety listings.
Use products made for children when possible. Before widespread use, do a small patch test on the inside of the child’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid putting products the child can chew or swallow (like lip balm) on toddlers who tend to put things in their mouths. Apply to intact (not broken) skin only.
If you see redness, swelling, rash, itching, or any breathing trouble after using a product, stop use and contact your pediatrician. The public ingredient safety database notes only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies and reproductive effects, but if your child has known plant-wax or cosmetic allergies be extra cautious.
