CI 45410 is a synthetic red dye used to color topical products. For toddlers (1ā2 years) it is not considered highly dangerous, but authorities note limits on its use and some signals for irritation and hormone-related effects. Because toddlers have sensitive skin and often touch their faces and mouths, extra caution is wise.
Try to pick dye-free or clearly labeled baby/toddler products. If a product contains this ingredient: do not use it near the eyes, avoid putting it on broken skin, and test it on a small patch (inside forearm or leg) and wait 24 hours before wider use. If you must use a product with this dye, use the smallest amount needed and avoid frequent repeat application on the face. If you see any redness, swelling, rash, or your child seems uncomfortable, stop use and talk to your pediatrician.
Do not use products with this dye around the eyes (this is a regulatory restriction from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration). Watch for skin irritation or eye redness ā animal studies and regulatory reviews report possible irritation at higher exposures. Some government agencies have noted possible hormone-related effects and persistence in the environment (National Toxicology Program and Environment Canada listed concerns). Because of these flagged issues and use restrictions by authorities, avoid nonessential use of products containing CI 45410 on toddlers and especially avoid facial and eye-area application.
