1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years): this ingredient is a preservative. Most broad health concerns are reported as low, but some regulators limit its use in cosmetics. Because young children’s skin is still developing and data are limited, it’s treated with caution.
If you have a baby or toddler, prefer products made for infants or that do not list this preservative. Avoid applying products with this ingredient often, using them as leave-on creams on your child, or putting them on broken or irritated skin. Do a small patch test on a tiny area of clean skin and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation before regular use.
There are documented regulatory restrictions in the EU (EU Cosmetics Directive) restricting or limiting this ingredient in cosmetics — that is the source of the main concern. Watch for skin redness, swelling, rash, or other allergic signs. If you notice any of these, stop use and consult your pediatrician. Avoid products with this ingredient for very young babies and on sensitive areas (face, diaper area, or chapped skin).
