For toddlers (1-2 years) this ingredient is generally low risk when used on the skin. It’s a licorice-derived ingredient that soothes and helps keep skin moist. At normal amounts used in creams and wipes it rarely causes harm.
Use products made for young children or from trusted brands. Do a small patch test on the child’s arm before wider use. Don’t apply to broken, raw, or very irritated skin. Keep products away from the child’s mouth and don’t let them eat or lick creams/wipes. If a rash, swelling, or other irritation appears, stop using and check with your child’s pediatrician.
Watch for skin redness, itching, swelling or any new rash after use — these are signs to stop. Industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) recommend limits on concentration and on impurities, so prefer products that list appropriate child-friendly formulations or that come from brands that disclose safety or concentration information. Avoid products that don’t list ingredients clearly or are not intended for babies/toddlers.
