Is this toddler-safe to use Sodium Pyruvate?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and young children (1–2 years old), sodium pyruvate used on the skin is unlikely to cause harm. Government reviews find very low hazard overall. A European chemical agency has reported only limited cases of skin irritation or allergy.
✅What to Do
Use only products made for children when possible. Before regular use, put a small amount on the inside of your child's forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Do not put the product on broken, sore, or irritated skin. Keep it away from your child's eyes and mouth. If you see a rash, swelling, or any breathing trouble, stop use and contact your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, itching, rash, swelling) — this is noted by a European chemical agency. Do not apply to broken skin. Although Environment Canada finds it unlikely to be toxic or to build up in the body, any product that also contains other ingredients may carry additional risks, so check the full product label and ask your pediatrician if unsure.
