1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally safe. It’s a mild helper that keeps creams and lotions from separating and rarely causes problems.
Use products formulated for young children and follow the product directions. Try a small patch test on the arm before wider use. Use sparingly on broken or very sensitive skin and stop use if you see redness, swelling, or a rash.
Industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note some data gaps and that safety limits are based on how much is used in products. Although overall concerns for cancer, allergies, and effects on development are low, watch for any skin reactions and avoid using on open wounds or very irritated skin. If you’re unsure, choose child-specific products and talk to your pediatrician.
