For a 1–2 year old (toddler), this ingredient is generally low risk but not completely without concerns. Official reviews find little evidence of long-term harm, and it doesn’t tend to build up in the body or environment. However, some regions limit its use and it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes.
Choose products made for young children. Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Avoid applying near the eyes, on broken or very red skin, and don’t use more often than the product directions say. If your toddler develops redness, swelling, or a rash, stop use and wash the area; contact your pediatrician if it looks worse or you’re concerned.
Watch for skin or eye irritation — official cosmetic reviews list irritation as a possible issue. Also note this ingredient has use restrictions in some regions (for example the EU Cosmetics Directive), meaning some product programs limit or require extra safety information before it’s used. If a product lists this ingredient and you’re unsure, choose an alternative formulated for toddlers or check with the brand about concentration and intended use.
