Is this toddler-safe to use Glycine?
ℹ️General Overview
Glycine is a naturally occurring building block of proteins. For toddlers (1–2 years old) it is generally safe when used in normal amounts in skin products.
✅What to Do
Use products made for young children or labeled for sensitive skin. Try a small patch on the inner forearm first, wait 24 hours, and if no redness or rash appears you can use as directed. Don’t put it on open cuts or very irritated skin. If your child licks off a small amount from the skin, it is unlikely to cause harm, but avoid swallowing concentrated forms.
⚠️Warnings
Stop use and consult your pediatrician if you see redness, swelling, hives, or other signs of an allergic reaction. Note: safety reviews by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Environment Canada, and cosmetic safety review groups list glycine as safe for limited uses and not likely to be toxic or persistent in the environment; some product verification programs may still restrict its use unless manufacturers provide documentation.
