Is this toddler-safe to use Peg 150?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1–2 years), PEG‑150 as used in creams and lotions is moderately safe. The ingredient itself is unlikely to get deep into the body, but there are concerns about leftover manufacturing impurities and it is not recommended for use on broken skin.
✅What to Do
If you use a product with PEG‑150 on your toddler: patch test a small area first (inner forearm), avoid use on cuts, rashes, or irritated skin, choose products from brands that test for impurities or state low residual solvents, use sparingly and stop if redness or itching appears, and check with your pediatrician if you have concerns.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for signs of skin irritation (redness, swelling, rash) and stop use immediately. Avoid putting products with this ingredient on broken or injured skin (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Be aware that contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane has been reported as a possible concern (source: ingredient contamination listings). Environment Canada assessments also note possible non-reproductive organ effects at higher exposures; this is why choosing low‑impurity products and avoiding frequent use over large areas is recommended.
