Use products made for toddlers or babies and follow the product instructions. Before using a new product, try a small patch on the inside of the arm and wait 24 hours to check for any redness or irritation. Do not put products into broken or very red skin. Keep products away from eyes and mouth. If the product contains strong fragrance or many preservatives, consider choosing a fragrance-free or baby-formulated option.
Stop use and rinse well if you see redness, swelling, hives, or any new rash. If a reaction is severe or spreads, contact your child’s pediatrician. The safety information comes from cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and Environment Canada, which report low concerns but note that industry recommendations can include limits on concentration or impurities—avoid high-concentration or industrial formulations and stick to products made for children.
