For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally safe for skin use. It’s a mild ingredient used to mix oils and water in creams and lotions. Most serious risks are considered unlikely.
Use products made for young children or fragrance-free formulas. Before full use, do a small patch test on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid using on broken or very sore skin and keep products away from the child’s eyes and mouth.
Watch for redness, itching, swelling, or a new rash. One safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) says the evidence about eye or skin irritation is limited, so irritation is the main concern to watch for. A government review (Environment Canada) found it is not expected to be toxic or to build up in the body or environment. If your child has a strong reaction, stop use and contact your pediatrician or local poison control if needed.
