1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For a 1–2 year old toddler, papaya fruit extract is usually safe to use on the skin in small amounts. It is not known to cause major health problems at the levels used in skin products.
Before using a new product on your toddler, do a small patch test on the inner forearm or upper thigh and wait 24 hours to check for any redness or rash. Use a small amount, avoid the eyes, mouth and any broken or irritated skin, and choose products from reputable brands. If your child has a history of plant or food allergies, or if the product contains many active ingredients, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see persistent redness, swelling, blistering, or breathing changes. Some ingredient-review bodies (for example, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note recommendations and restrictions for safe use and certain product verification programs may require extra safety documentation before allowing this ingredient — so look for clear labeling and trustworthy brands. Also avoid using on open cuts or severe rashes and keep products out of reach to prevent accidental ingestion.
