For toddlers (1-2 years old), Lauryl Laurate is usually safe in skin products. It’s used to moisturize and condition skin and is not linked to cancer or growth problems in safety reviews. The main concern is mild skin or eye irritation in some people.
If you try a product with this ingredient on your toddler, use products made for young children and follow the label. Prefer rinse-off products when possible (like shampoos). Do a quick patch test first: put a small amount on the inside of the arm and watch for 24 hours. Start with a small amount and avoid applying to broken skin, the eyes, or mouth.
Watch for signs of irritation such as redness, stinging, rash, or watery eyes. The review that raised irritation concerns is the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR). If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician before use. If you see swelling of the face, hives, trouble breathing, or severe reaction, stop use and seek medical care right away.
