ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years) this ingredient is usually safe in small amounts in skincare. Serious problems are rare, but a few people have had skin reactions.
✅What to Do
If you use a product with this ingredient on a 1-2 year old (toddler): do a small patch test on a tiny area first, use products made for children when possible, avoid applying to cuts or irritated skin, and use only small amounts. If the child has redness, swelling, itching, or a rash, stop use and wash the area. If symptoms continue, see your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
There are isolated reports of allergic skin reactions in people (case report from 2018) and limited evidence of skin irritation; a European regulatory agency (ECHA) has also noted some organ-system toxicity findings at higher exposures. These sources suggest watching for redness, rash, or eye/respiratory irritation and avoiding use on broken skin. Most general safety listings mark major concerns like cancer or reproductive harm as low, so those are not the main worry at normal product levels.
