For a toddler (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally safe to use on the skin. Public safety listings mark its health concerns as low. It acts mainly as a skin-softening ingredient and is not known to cause serious harm at normal use levels.
If you want to use a product that contains this ingredient on a toddler: 1) Choose products made for young children or with short ingredient lists. 2) Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for any reaction. 3) Use a small amount and avoid applying to broken, red, or inflamed skin. 4) Keep the product away from the child’s mouth and eyes. 5) If your child has a history of eczema or very sensitive skin, talk to your pediatrician before regular use.
Public ingredient safety listings note only low-level concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on development. These are rated low, not high, but because toddlers’ skin can be more sensitive you should still watch for: redness, swelling, itching, blistering, or any new rash after applying the product. Stop use immediately if any of these occur and consult your child’s doctor. Also avoid use if the skin is broken or infected, and do not allow the child to eat or lick the product.
