1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years), vanilla extract from the vanilla bean is generally low risk when used on the skin. However, a small number of children may get skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
If you want to use a product that lists this ingredient: do a small patch test first on your child’s inner forearm and watch for 24–48 hours; prefer rinse-off products (bath products) over daily leave-on creams if your child has sensitive skin; use the smallest amount needed and avoid applying near the eyes, nose, or mouth; if your child has eczema or a known fragrance sensitivity, choose products labeled for sensitive skin or fragrance-free.
Stop use and talk to your pediatrician if you see redness, rash, swelling, itching, or any breathing changes after use. The caution comes from regulatory safety reviews (European Chemicals Agency) and cosmetic safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) that note limited evidence of skin or eye irritation and a few case reports of allergic responses. Also be aware that some product-verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless the maker provides safety data.
