ℹ️General Overview
Usually fine for toddlers’ skin at normal amounts, but a few kids may get a rash.
✅What to Do
Choose a simple, fragrance‑free product. Test a pea‑sized amount on your child’s forearm and wait 24 hours. Use a thin layer and avoid the diaper area and broken skin. If no reaction, you can use it, starting a few times per week.
⚠️Warnings
Skin allergy has been reported in people (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Possible impurities like hydroquinone have been flagged and impurity limits are advised (Cosmetic Ingredient Review). One older animal study only found tumors at very high doses and special conditions, not regular use (1996 study: “Importance of the form of topical vitamin E for prevention of photocarcinogenesis”). Even though it is allowed for certain food uses (US Food and Drug Administration), do not let your toddler lick or chew on products; keep away from mouth and eyes. If you see redness, itching, or a rash, stop and check with your pediatrician.
