1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For a 1-2 year old toddler, this ingredient is generally safe when used in normal amounts in skin creams, lotions or wipes. It’s commonly found in products made for babies and young children and is not known to cause serious harm.
Use products formulated for toddlers or babies. Before using a new product, try a small patch test on the inside of the toddler’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Avoid applying to broken, red or sore skin. Keep creams and wipes away from the child’s mouth and eyes. If you see a persistent rash, swelling or any breathing trouble, stop use and contact your pediatrician right away.
The ingredient safety listing used for this review marks cancer, allergy/immunotoxicity, developmental/reproductive effects and use restrictions as low concern, so these are not major issues. The most likely problem is an individual skin reaction (redness, itching, hives). Also watch for reactions caused by other ingredients in the product (fragrance, preservatives). If the toddler licks or swallows a lot of a product, contact a healthcare professional. For severe reactions (trouble breathing, widespread swelling), seek emergency help.
