1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), Lactobacillus ferment is usually safe to use on the skin. The ingredient is made from friendly bacteria and the safety listing used here shows low concern for cancer, allergies, reproductive effects, and use restrictions.
Pick a product made for young children or labeled gentle/fragrance-free. Before using broadly, do a patch test: put a small amount on the inside of the forearm, wait 24 hours, and only continue if there is no redness or irritation. Use sparingly, keep away from eyes and mouth, and do not put it on cuts, scrapes, or very red or oozing skin. If your child has severe eczema or a weakened immune system, ask your pediatrician first.
Watch for any redness, itching, swelling, rash, or breathing changes after use — stop use and wash the area if these happen and seek medical care for severe reactions. This advice is based on the provided ingredient safety listing, which notes low concern for cancer and allergies but does not replace checking the full product label. If the product contains other ingredients (like fragrance or potent preservatives), those can cause problems even if this ingredient itself is low risk.
