1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years), hydrogenated vegetable oil is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. It works as a skin softener and has low levels of concern from health reviewers.
Use products made for young children or labeled for sensitive skin. Apply a small amount to a small patch of skin first to check for redness or irritation. Avoid putting these products where your child can lick them (mouth, lips). If your toddler has eczema or very sensitive skin, ask your pediatrician before use.
There are some notes from safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and Environment Canada) that industry safety assessments rely on reported product concentrations and that there are data gaps about exact safe limits and impurities. Because of that: avoid using large amounts, do not apply to broken or infected skin, stop use and call your pediatrician if you see a rash, swelling, or other reaction, and choose formulations made for children rather than concentrated raw oils.
