For toddlers (1–2 years) this ingredient is generally low risk when applied to the skin. It helps condition skin and is not linked to major long-term health problems in available safety reviews. Some people can still have skin or eye irritation.
Use products made or labeled for children when possible. Patch-test a new product on a small area (inner forearm or behind the ear) and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness, rash, or swelling. Start with a small amount for leave-on products. Keep lotions and creams away from your child’s eyes, mouth, and broken or sore skin. If you see irritation, stop use, rinse with water, and talk to your pediatrician if it does not get better.
Expert reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note it should be used within certain concentration or use limits and that some product programs restrict its use without extra safety data. Also, some people may experience skin or eye irritation (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Do not use on open cuts or rashes. If your child develops persistent redness, swelling, blisters, or difficulty breathing after contact, stop use and seek medical care.
