For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in normal skin products. It softens skin and is not linked to major health problems in public reviews, but there are some gaps in child-specific safety data and limits that manufacturers sometimes follow.
Use products made for young children when possible. If using an adult product that contains this ingredient, apply a small amount to a small area first (patch test) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid applying to broken skin, near the mouth or eyes, and do not let your child ingest the product. Keep products out of reach. If a product label does not list full ingredients or comes from a brand without clear safety information, choose a different product.
Watch for skin redness, rash, or swelling after use — stop use if any appear. Industry safety reviewers note gaps in how safe concentrations are estimated and some programs require manufacturers to show documentation before allowing the ingredient in verified products (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review and product verification program guidance). Government summaries also report it is not expected to be toxic or build up in the environment (source: Environment Canada).
