1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally safe in skin creams and lotions. Most safety checks show low concern for long-term harms. The only possible issue listed is irritation (redness, stinging), but that appears uncommon.
Use products made for children and follow the product directions. Before wide use, do a small patch test: apply a tiny amount to the inside of the forearm or thigh and watch for 24 hours. Avoid applying to open cuts, very red or infected skin, and keep products away from the eyes. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, choose products labeled for sensitive skin and consider testing first.
Watch for any redness, swelling, itching, burning, or eye irritation after applying the product. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review notes possible irritation but says the evidence is not well assessed — so stop use and rinse the area if irritation occurs, and call your pediatrician if it’s severe or the child has trouble breathing. Other listed concerns (cancer, allergies, developmental effects) are low and not the main worry.
