1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), Octylacrylamide Copolymer is generally considered low risk when it’s used in normal creams, lotions or sunscreens. It helps products stay on the skin and the safety information available flags few concerns.
Use products made for children or labeled for sensitive skin. Do a small patch test on your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid putting products on broken or sore skin. Follow the product instructions and use only the amount recommended for your child’s age.
Stop use and rinse the area if you see redness, swelling, itching, or blisters. Avoid this ingredient on open wounds or severe eczema. The ingredient data source (see: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredients/700154-ACRYLATESOCTYLACRYLAMIDE_COPOLYMER/) lists low concern for cancer, allergies, and reproductive effects, but specific studies in very young children are limited — so watch your child closely after first uses.
