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.
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.
Do not use on broken, severely irritated, or infected skin. Some safety reviews note limits on how much of this ingredient is used in products and report a low chance of skin or eye irritation (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Environment Canada notes low systemic toxicity but uncertainty about environmental effects. If the product causes stinging, redness, or eye irritation, stop use and consult a healthcare provider.
