ℹ️General Overview
Cholesterol is a skin-friendly ingredient that helps repair and protect the skin. For toddlers (1-2 years), it is generally safe when used in normal amounts in products made for young children.
✅What to Do
Use products that are specifically formulated for babies or toddlers. Do a small patch test on a little area of skin (inside forearm) before wider use. Avoid putting products on cracked or open skin. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before trying a new product. Stop use and call your doctor if you see persistent redness, swelling, hives, or other signs of a bad reaction.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reactions (redness, rash, swelling). Safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note limits on concentration and some data gaps; an international cancer review (IARC) finds it not likely to cause cancer; government review (Environment Canada) and peer‑reviewed studies raise concerns about persistence and buildup in wildlife. Also be aware that some product-certification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless manufacturers provide proof about how it is made and used—so prefer trusted brands and clear labeling.
