For toddlers (1-2 years old) magnesium sulfate on the skin is generally safe and has low health concern. It is commonly used in baby and child products to help the skin and is not linked to serious risks when used properly.
Use products as directed on the label. Apply a small amount on a patch of healthy skin first to check for any redness or irritation before using more widely. Keep all products out of reach so the child cannot put them in their mouth. Do not use on open cuts or sores.
Watch for skin redness, rash, swelling, or any signs the child is itchy or uncomfortable — stop use if these occur. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin and avoid ingestion (swallowing) because magnesium salts can cause stomach upset. Safety and use limits have been noted by regulatory and industry reviewers (for example, national food/chemical safety authorities and cosmetic ingredient review bodies), so choose products made for children and follow label instructions.
