1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years) this ingredient is considered low risk when used on the skin as intended. Major long-term concerns like cancer or effects on growth are rated low. The main issue to watch for is irritation (redness, stinging), which is possible but not common.
Use products with this ingredient on your toddler as directed on the product label. Do a small patch test on a tiny area of skin (inner forearm) and wait 24 hours before applying more broadly. Avoid putting the product on broken or very irritated skin, and keep it away from the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Watch for signs of irritation such as redness, rash, swelling, stinging, or any breathing difficulty; stop use immediately if these occur and rinse the area with water. The caution about irritation comes from an independent cosmetic ingredient review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) that notes possible skin/eye/lung irritation though evidence is limited. If your child has very sensitive skin or a history of eczema or allergies, consider consulting your pediatrician before use.
