ℹ️General Overview

For a toddler (1-2 years old), soap used to wash skin is generally safe. The soap chemicals in question are not expected to cause lasting harm and are considered low risk, but they can sometimes dry or irritate sensitive skin.

What to Do

Use a small amount of a mild, fragrance-free soap made for children or sensitive skin. Rinse your toddler thoroughly, pat skin dry, and apply a gentle moisturizer if skin looks dry. Supervise bathing and keep soap out of the eyes and mouth.

⚠️Warnings

Stop use and talk to your child's doctor if you see redness, a rash, persistent dryness, or other irritation after using soap. Avoid using concentrated household cleaners, dish soaps, or industrial soaps on a toddler's skin.
