For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally low risk when used in small amounts in products made for young children, but it can sometimes irritate skin or eyes and has a noted possible effect on hormones in some studies.
Use products made for toddlers, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours, avoid applying on broken skin or near the eyes and mouth, wash hands after applying so the child doesn’t put treated fingers in their mouth, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, rash, or any breathing changes.
Watch for skin or eye irritation (limited evidence from Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the European Chemicals Agency) and for any signs that the child is unusually sensitive. There is a reported note about possible hormone-related effects from the National Toxicology Program. Some product verification programs restrict this ingredient unless makers supply safety data—if you’re unsure, choose products labelled specifically for toddlers and consult your pediatrician for any concerning reactions.
