ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years) this ingredient is generally safe when applied to normal, unbroken skin. It is used to make skin feel soft and smooth and is considered low risk for serious long-term harms.
✅What to Do
Before using a new product on your toddler, do a small patch test on the inside of the wrist or thigh and wait 24–48 hours. Use a small amount, avoid putting it near the eyes or mouth, and do not apply to cuts, rashes, or raw skin. Stop use if you see redness, swelling, or a rash and talk to your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Some cosmetic safety reviews note possible skin, eye or lung irritation (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Government reviews did not find it to be likely to cause organ damage or to build up in the body (source: Environment Canada). Because irritation is the main flagged issue, watch for any redness, itching, or breathing changes after use. Also remember that other ingredients in the product (fragrance, preservatives) can cause reactions even if this ingredient is low risk.
