ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1–2 years old), this ingredient is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. Most people do fine with it, but a few people can get a rash or mild irritation.
✅What to Do
Use products made for young children or labeled for sensitive skin. Test any new product on a small patch of your child’s skin (for example, the inner forearm) and wait 24 hours before using it more widely. Avoid applying it to broken, red, or raw skin. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before regular use.
⚠️Warnings
Rare allergic reactions and mild irritation have been reported in some case studies (not common) — these reports come from industry safety reviews and medical case reports (for example, Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Government assessments also note low concern but limited information on total exposure (Environment Canada, FDA references). Stop use and see your doctor if you notice redness, swelling, itching, blisters, or if your child has trouble breathing after use. Also avoid letting your toddler put products in their mouth; do not let them eat products that contain this ingredient.
