For toddlers (1–2 years), pantolactone in skin products is considered very low risk. Most children will not have problems, but a small number can get mild skin or eye irritation.
Use products with pantolactone on toddlers only as directed and in small amounts. Do a quick patch test first: put a tiny amount on the inside of the forearm or lower leg and wait 24 hours. Keep it away from the eyes and mouth and don’t use it on broken, red, or eczema‑prone skin. If you see redness, swelling, blistering, or ongoing irritation, stop use and talk with your child’s healthcare provider.
The main caution comes from limited evidence of irritation reported by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Watch for signs of skin or eye irritation (redness, stinging, swelling). Avoid using on broken skin or rashes and avoid getting the product in your child’s eyes or mouth. If a reaction is severe or doesn’t get better after stopping, seek medical advice.
