Is this toddler-safe to use Sodium Sulfite?
ā¹ļøGeneral Overview
For 1-2 year olds (toddlers), sodium sulfite is generally considered low risk for serious harm, but some children can be sensitive. It is used as a preservative and is sometimes limited by safety rules.
ā What to Do
If you can, pick baby or toddler products that do not list sodium sulfite. If a product contains it: do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24ā48 hours before regular use; avoid applying to broken or irritated skin; use sparingly and keep the product away from eyes and mouth. If your child has a history of asthma or known sulfite sensitivity, avoid products with sodium sulfite and check with your pediatrician.
ā ļøWarnings
Watch for redness, rash, swelling, hives, or breathing trouble after use ā these are signs of an allergic reaction (information from medical literature on sulfite sensitivities). Also note that safety panels and regional cosmetic rules place limits on how this ingredient is used and at what concentrations (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and European cosmetics regulations), which is why some child products avoid it.
