For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is considered low risk when used on the skin in small amounts in products made for children. It is used to soothe and calm the skin.
Use only products labeled for young children or sensitive skin, follow the product directions, and start with a small amount. Do a simple patch test on a small area (inner forearm) and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid applying to broken, red, or irritated skin. If your child has very sensitive skin, choose products from brands that state their safety testing and impurity controls.
Do not use on open or damaged skin and stop use if you see redness, swelling, rash, or other signs of irritation. The safety reviews that support its use recommend limits on how much can be in a product and say impurities should be controlled (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Some product verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless manufacturers provide safety data — prefer products from reputable makers that disclose testing. If you are unsure, ask your pediatrician before use.
