For toddlers (1–2 years old), trehalose is generally safe when put on the skin. It is a gentle sugar that helps keep skin moisturized and the safety information shows very low concerns for cancer, allergies, or effects on growth.
Use products that list trehalose on the label from trusted brands. Start with a small amount on a small area of skin to check for any reaction. Avoid putting products on broken or very irritated skin. If your child has very sensitive skin, choose products made for babies or toddlers and follow product directions.
The ingredient safety database notes that some certification programs restrict this ingredient unless manufacturers provide extra safety data about concentration or impurities — that is a manufacturing/labeling caution rather than a direct toxicity for toddlers. Watch for any redness, swelling, or rash after use; if you see these signs, stop use and talk to your pediatrician. Keep creams and lotions away from your child's eyes and mouth.
