1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years old), sucrose polystearate is generally safe in creams and lotions used on normal skin. It is a common ingredient that helps make products feel smooth and stay mixed.
Before using a new lotion or cream on your 1-year-old or 2-year-old, do a small patch test on a tiny area of skin and wait 24 hours. Use products meant for toddlers or sensitive skin when possible. Avoid putting lotion where your child can easily lick it (hands, near the mouth). Don’t apply to cuts, scrapes, or irritated skin.
The ingredient listing reviewed notes only low-level concerns for allergy and other effects, so major risks are unlikely. Still, if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or if irritation continues, stop use and talk to your child’s pediatrician. If your child has known skin allergies or eczema, check with the doctor before regular use.
