1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years), sunflower seed wax is generally safe to use on the skin. It is a plant-based ingredient used to thicken and soften lotions, creams and sunscreens, and is not known to cause serious harm in normal topical use.
Use products made for toddlers or labeled for sensitive skin. Before widespread use, do a small patch test on the inner forearm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours. Apply only to unbroken skin. Start with a small amount and use as directed on the product label. If your child has a known sunflower or seed allergy, avoid products with sunflower-derived ingredients and check with your pediatrician.
The ingredient's safety listing notes low-level concerns for cancer, allergies and developmental effects, but these are rated low and are not common. Still, watch for allergic reactions such as redness, swelling, itching or hives and stop use if they occur. Avoid getting products in the eyes or on mucous membranes. If a reaction is severe or does not improve after stopping the product, contact your pediatrician.
