For toddlers (1–2 years), this fragrance ingredient is generally considered low risk based on available safety reviews. Still, young children's skin can be more sensitive, so a small risk of skin irritation or allergy exists.
If you use a product that lists this ingredient on a 1–2 year old: choose child-friendly or low-fragrance products, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait about 24 hours before wider use, avoid putting it on broken or inflamed skin or near the mouth and eyes, use the smallest amount needed, and stop use if you see redness, rash, itching, or swelling. Prefer products that clearly list fragrance ingredients when possible.
Overall safety reviews from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Environment Canada, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report low concern, and some product certification programs restrict use without extra safety documentation. The main thing to watch for is skin sensitivity — redness, rash, itching, or swelling — which means stop use and wash the area and, if serious, contact your pediatrician. Avoid repeated heavy application and avoid use on areas of broken skin.
