For toddlers (1-2 years), magnesium nitrate is generally low risk when used in small amounts on normal, unbroken skin. It is not linked to cancer or reproductive problems and allergy concerns are low.
Use products that list magnesium nitrate only in small amounts and only on intact skin. Do a small patch test on your child’s arm first and wait 24 hours. If you see any redness, swelling, or itching, stop use and wash the area with water. Keep all products out of reach of children.
Do not put magnesium nitrate on open cuts, rashes, or irritated skin. If your child swallows a product or shows a strong reaction, get medical help right away. The caution comes from government assessments that found low overall risk but some harmful effects in animal studies only at moderate doses (Environment Canada; U.S. EPA). If you’re unsure, check with your pediatrician before use.
