1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years), hydrolyzed silk is generally safe. It is a moisturizing protein that most children tolerate well. Serious health risks are not expected according to government and industry reviews.
Use products with hydrolyzed silk as directed and in typical amounts (for example, in baby lotions or hair products). Patch-test a small area (inside forearm) first, especially if your child has sensitive skin or eczema. Stop use and rinse if you see redness, swelling, or itching.
Watch for allergic skin reactions (redness, rash, swelling, itch). Children with eczema or very sensitive skin have higher risk — avoid use on broken or inflamed skin. Also note that some product verification programs require extra safety data before allowing this ingredient in verified baby products (based on reviews by Environment Canada and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review).
