ℹ️General Overview

For toddlers (1–2 years), Isopropyl Isostearate is generally low risk when used on the skin. It is an emollient (skin softener) with few safety concerns in standard amounts.

What to Do

Use products that are made for young children or labeled gentle. Avoid spray or aerosol forms. If you’re trying a product for the first time, apply a small amount on a patch of the child’s forearm and watch for 24 hours. Stop use and wash the area if you see redness, swelling, or a rash. For children with eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before using new products.
