Quick Answer: Glyceryl Diisostearate is generally considered safe for 1-2 year old toddlers when used in topical products. Watch for toddler-specific sensitivities.

ℹ️General Overview

For toddlers (1–2 years): this ingredient is commonly used to soften and thicken lotions and creams and is generally considered low risk for skin problems in small amounts used on the skin.

✅What to Do

Use products labeled gentle or made for young children. Before widespread use, try a small patch on the toddler’s inner arm and watch for 24–48 hours. Don’t put products with this ingredient on broken or very red skin. Keep products out of the child’s mouth and eyes. If irritation, swelling, or a rash appears, stop use and talk to your child’s pediatrician.

⚠️Warnings

Industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note some missing safety data and that safety assessments assume low skin absorption or use related chemicals as reference. Because of those data gaps, avoid heavy or frequent use on very young skin, do a patch test, and stop use if any irritation occurs. Also avoid product ingestion and contact with eyes.
