Is this toddler-safe to use Keratin?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1–2 years) keratin is generally low risk when used on the skin, but some countries limit how it can be used in cosmetics. Most children won’t have problems, but sensitive skin can react.
✅What to Do
If you want to use a product with keratin on a 1–2 year old: do a patch test on a small area of the child's inner arm and wait 24 hours for any redness or rash; do not use on broken or irritated skin; choose products made for young children or labeled safe for sensitive skin; use sparingly and stop if any irritation appears. If your child has eczema or a history of allergies, check with your pediatrician first.
⚠️Warnings
There are official restrictions and industry guidance on keratin use in cosmetics (for example from Health Canada and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Watch for signs of irritation or allergic reaction — redness, swelling, itching, or a rash — and stop use immediately if you see these. Avoid products that do not list ingredients clearly or are meant for professional chemical treatments.
