1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 year olds), Glycine Soja (soybean) sterols are generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. They act like moisturizers and are considered low risk for long-term harms.
If your child is 1-2 years old (a toddler), you can use products containing this ingredient as directed. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for redness or rash. Avoid using it on broken skin, and keep creams away from the mouth and eyes. If your child has a known soy allergy, choose a different product.
Watch for skin redness, itching, swelling, or a rash after use. If any of these occur, stop using the product and talk to your pediatrician. The industry review body (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) has guidance on safe use and manufacturing practices; the ingredient is also listed in public ingredient safety databases as having low concerns for cancer, allergy, and developmental effects. Those sources inform the low concern rating but do not replace medical advice for a child with known allergies.
