1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For a toddler (1–2 years), this olive-oil derived ingredient is usually safe when used on the skin in products made for children. Most safety notes are low, but there is limited evidence of mild irritation and some gaps in testing, so it’s wise to be careful.
Use products formulated for toddlers and follow label instructions. Do a small patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours before wider use. Apply a small amount; avoid the eyes, mouth and any broken or irritated skin. If your child tries to lick the area, wipe it off. Stop use and contact your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, or breathing changes.
Some reviewers and regulators note limited evidence of skin, eye or respiratory irritation (European Chemicals Agency) and there are data gaps and recommended limits on concentration or product types (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). One laboratory test showed a positive result in cell-based mutation testing (Environmental Protection Agency) — this was limited and not repeated widely, but it is a reason to be cautious. Also, this ingredient can appear in food-related uses (U.S. FDA), so be mindful of multiple sources of exposure. Some product-verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless makers provide extra safety information; prefer baby/toddler-specific formulations and stop use if any irritation appears.
