For toddlers (1-2 years old) sebacic acid is generally low risk when used in normal skin products. Reviews by industry safety panels and government agencies rate major health concerns as low and say it does not appear to build up in the body or the environment.
Choose products made for toddlers or labeled for sensitive skin and from reputable brands that follow industry safety limits. Use as directed and avoid products that don’t list ingredients or concentrations. If you’re trying a new product on your child, do a small patch test on the arm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation.
Some industry reviewers recommend limits on how much can be used and which product types are appropriate (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). There are also notes about data gaps in maximum 'as used' concentrations (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Government reviews indicate the ingredient is not persistent or bioaccumulative (source: Environment Canada). Avoid applying to broken or inflamed skin, and stop use and consult your pediatrician if your child develops a rash, swelling, or breathing trouble after use.
