1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years old), Coco-Caprylate is generally low risk when used on the skin in normal amounts. It is a softening ingredient made from coconut-like sources and helps creams and lotions spread and feel nice.
Use products made for young children or labeled for sensitive skin. Do a small patch test (apply a pea-size amount to the inner forearm or thigh and wait 24 hours). Avoid getting products with this ingredient into the child’s eyes or mouth. Don’t use sprays or mists that a child could breathe in. Start with a small amount and avoid using on cuts or sore skin. If you see any irritation, wash the area and stop use.
A cosmetic safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) noted it is safe with some limits but also mentioned a low chance of skin, eye, or lung irritation. Watch for redness, itching, rash, swollen skin, watery eyes, coughing, or breathing changes—stop use and rinse if these occur. If your child has a known sensitivity to coconut-derived ingredients, be extra careful. If a severe reaction happens, seek medical help.
