✅What to Do
Before using on your child, try a small patch test on the arm and wait 24 hours. Use a small amount, avoid the face (especially eyes, nose and mouth), don’t put it on cuts or raw skin, and avoid spray products to prevent breathing it in. If you see redness, rash, itching, swelling, watery eyes or coughing, stop use and wash the area. Seek medical care if breathing changes or swelling is severe.

Watch for any signs of irritation or allergic reaction in your toddler. Less concerning issues such as cancer or developmental harm were rated low in safety reviews, but follow any product label limits or instructions.
