1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years old), this plant wax is generally safe when used on the skin in normal amounts. Reviews by regulatory authorities find it unlikely to cause organ damage or environmental harm, and concerns like cancer or reproductive harm are low.
When using a cream or balm that contains this wax on your toddler, apply a small amount to intact skin. Try a simple patch test first: put a tiny amount on the inside of the toddler’s forearm and wait 24 hours. If there is no redness, swelling, or other reaction, using the product as directed is reasonable. Avoid putting the product in or near the child’s mouth, eyes, or on broken or sore skin.
Watch for any skin redness, swelling, itching, blisters or other signs of an allergic reaction and stop use if these occur. The ingredient has been reviewed by Environment Canada and is classified as not expected to be toxic; reported concerns for cancer, allergy and developmental/reproductive effects are low according to those reviews. If your child has a known plant or wax allergy, or if a reaction occurs, contact your pediatrician. Do not let toddlers ingest the product.
