For toddlers (1–2 years old), this ingredient is generally considered low risk when used in normal skin products made for children. It is a skin-softening ingredient and current safety listings show low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on development or reproduction.
Choose products specifically formulated for toddlers or young children. Before full use, try a small patch on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use only as directed on the product, avoid broken or sore skin, and keep creams away from your child’s eyes and mouth.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, itching, or changes in behavior after using a new product — stop use and rinse if you see these. Note that some product verification programs require manufacturers to provide extra safety evidence for this ingredient; if a product states it lacks such substantiation, consider avoiding it for your toddler. The safety listings and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review are the sources behind these notes.
