ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years old) this ingredient, used to thicken creams and lotions, is generally low risk. Major health worries like cancer or effects on growth are considered unlikely. The main issue is possible contamination with small amounts of harmful impurities.
✅What to Do
Use products made for young children or labeled for sensitive skin. Avoid spray or aerosol forms. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using widely. Don’t put products on broken or sore skin. Prefer brands that say they test for purity or for specific contaminants. If you see any rash, swelling, or if your child seems to have trouble breathing, stop use and contact your pediatrician.

Also watch for skin or eye irritation. Some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide impurity testing — choose products that provide clear purity testing or are made specifically for children.
