Is this toddler-safe to use Magnesium Chloride?
ℹ️General Overview
For 1–2 year olds (toddlers), magnesium chloride is generally safe to use on the skin in the small amounts found in wipes, lotions or creams. Safety listings show very low concern and it is a common mineral salt.
✅What to Do
Use products that are made for babies or toddlers and follow the product directions. Apply a small amount to the skin, avoid open cuts or sore areas, keep the product away from the eyes and mouth, and do a small patch test on the inner arm before wider use. If your child licks the product, wipe it off and rinse the mouth — a one-time small lick is unlikely to cause harm.
⚠️Warnings
The safety notes from Environment Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration included with the data indicate low overall risk, but product safety information and labels warn that magnesium chloride can mildly irritate eyes or broken skin. Stop use and talk to your pediatrician if you see persistent redness, swelling, blistering, or other signs of a skin reaction. Also avoid applying to deep cuts or open wounds and keep all skincare products out of reach when not in use.
