1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
Phytosterols are plant-based skin conditioners and are considered low risk for toddlers (1-2 years). They are commonly used to soften and moisturize skin and have low concern for cancer, allergies, and effects on growth.
Use products made for young children or for sensitive skin. Do a small patch test on your child’s arm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction before regular use. Avoid using on cuts, open wounds, or very irritated skin. If you see rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty, stop use and contact your pediatrician right away.
Industry reviewers recommend limits on concentration and attention to purity during manufacturing (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). While overall concern is low, watch for any signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction and avoid products that list harsh additives alongside phytosterols. If your child has known plant or pollen allergies and you are unsure, consult your pediatrician before use.
