For toddlers (1-2 years old): this ingredient is generally low risk for use on the skin. Safety reviews say it can be used in cosmetics with some limits. The main issue to watch for is mild irritation, especially if it gets in the eyes or is used on sensitive or broken skin.
Use products labeled for children or gentle skin products. Before regular use, put a small amount on the inside of the toddler’s forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or a rash. Keep products away from the child’s eyes and mouth. If the child has a history of sensitive skin, eczema, or allergies, talk with your pediatrician before use.
Watch for redness, itching, rash, or stinging; eye irritation can occur if the product gets into the eyes. These irritation concerns come from safety reviewers such as the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Also note some product-certification programs may restrict this ingredient unless the maker provides extra safety data—ask manufacturers if you are unsure. If you see any reaction, stop use and consult your child’s healthcare provider.
