1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), marula oil is generally safe to use on the skin. It’s a natural moisturizing oil with low reported concerns for cancer, development, or general toxicity.
Before regular use, do a small patch test: put a drop behind your toddler’s ear or on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use a small amount on clean, intact skin and avoid the eyes and mouth. If your child has known plant or seed allergies, ask your pediatrician first. Stop use and see your doctor if you see lasting redness, swelling, or breathing trouble.
The ingredient safety information provided notes low concern for cancer, allergies, developmental or reproductive effects, and use restrictions. Even so, watch for allergic reactions (redness, rash, swelling). Avoid using on broken or severely irritated skin, do not let your child ingest the oil, and be cautious if the marula oil is in a product with other active ingredients — those can increase risk. If your child has a history of severe allergies, consult your pediatrician before use.
