For a 1–2 year old toddler, silicon dioxide used on the skin in normal lotion, cream, or powder formulations is considered very low risk. It’s an inert mineral added to keep products stable and dry.
✅What to Do
Use products made for children or gentle skin products that list this ingredient. Avoid applying loose powders close to your child’s face or nose to prevent breathing in dust. If you want extra caution, try a small patch test on the forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
⚠️Warnings

These recommendations come from the ingredient safety information used to evaluate this ingredient, which notes low concerns overall but flags inhalation of fine dust as something to avoid.
