For toddlers (1-2 years old), Tributyl Citrate is generally low risk when it appears in small amounts in skin products. It is unlikely to cause cancer or developmental harm and has low allergy concerns based on current information.
Use products made for young children when possible and check the ingredient list. If you try a product with this ingredient, do a small patch test on your child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or swelling. Avoid applying it to broken, irritated skin and avoid frequent heavy use of products where the ingredient concentration is unknown. Prefer products that state they are formulated for toddlers or children.
Watch for any skin redness, rash, itching, or swelling — stop use if these appear. Note: industry safety reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) have pointed out some data gaps about safe concentration limits and impurities, and some product-verification programs restrict this ingredient unless companies provide safety data. Because of those gaps, avoid long-term daily use of products with this ingredient on very young children and avoid it on broken skin.
