For toddlers (1-2 years old), potassium aspartate used on the skin is generally low risk. There are no strong safety concerns reported for cancer, allergies, or development at the levels used in skin products.
Use products meant for children when possible. Before widespread use, do a small patch test on the child's inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Apply only to intact (not broken) skin and avoid the eyes and mouth. Use a small amount the first few times to make sure your child’s skin tolerates it.
Stop use and talk to your child’s doctor if you see a rash, swelling, severe redness, blisters, or any breathing difficulties after using a product. Be aware that some product verification programs require makers to show safety information before using this ingredient; manufacturers may limit concentrations or control impurities based on industry guidance (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Keep all skin products out of reach of children and do not let them ingest the product.
