For toddlers (1-2 years), oryzanol is generally safe when used on the skin. It is a plant-based antioxidant with low worries for cancer, allergies, or developmental harm.
Before using on larger areas, do a small patch test (apply a tiny amount on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours). Use products with small amounts of oryzanol, avoid putting it near the eyes and mouth, and do not apply to cuts or raw skin. If your child has sensitive skin, choose products with fewer extra ingredients and stop use if irritation happens.
Environment Canada notes some uncertainty about environmental toxicity — this is about the ingredient’s effect on the environment, not direct harm to your child. Still, avoid excessive rinsing of products into drains or bodies of water. Watch for redness, swelling, or a rash after use; if you see those, stop use and talk to your child’s healthcare provider. In case of severe reaction or swelling, seek medical help right away.
