ℹ️General Overview

For toddlers and young children (1-2 years): this ingredient is generally low risk. It is not known to cause cancer or harm development, but it can sometimes irritate the skin or trigger an allergic reaction in sensitive children.

✅What to Do

If you see this ingredient on a lotion or cream label, use the product sparingly on a toddler’s skin. Do a small patch test on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid using fragranced products every day on a 1-2 year old; for routine care choose fragrance-free options. Never put fragranced products on broken skin, and keep products away from the child’s mouth, hands, and face.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for redness, itching, swelling or a rash after applying a product with heliotropin — these are signs of a skin reaction. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) notes limited evidence of dermal allergy, so stop use and talk to your pediatrician if you see these signs. If your child has eczema, very sensitive skin, or a history of allergies, it’s safer to avoid products with this ingredient.
