For a toddler (1-2 years, baby, young child) PPG-9 is generally considered low risk when it appears in small amounts in skin products. Most safety reviews do not find major long-term risks, but some reviewers note it can sometimes irritate skin, eyes, or lungs.
If you use a product that lists PPG-9 on a 1- or 2-year-old: do a small patch test on an area like the forearm first; choose products labeled for children or sensitive skin; avoid putting it near eyes, mouth, or on broken or sore skin; use sparingly rather than daily-heavy application; stop use and wash the area if your child gets redness, rash, swelling, or breathing trouble. Keep all products out of reach of children.
Watch for irritation or allergic reaction — reports mention possible skin, eye, or lung irritation (from Cosmetic Ingredient Review). One regulatory review (Environment Canada) noted non-reproductive organ toxicity concerns in other contexts, so avoid frequent heavy use and never let a child ingest products. If you see hives, swelling, trouble breathing, or worsening symptoms, get medical care right away. If in doubt, pick products made especially for toddlers or speak with your child’s pediatrician.
