Water is very safe for toddlers (1-2 years old) to have on their skin. It is the main base in wipes and baby lotions and is not considered harmful when used as intended.
Use products from trusted brands, check the product’s expiry date, and store them sealed and dry. When cleaning your toddler’s skin, plain running water is fine. After cleaning, gently pat the skin dry to avoid long-lasting dampness. If a product lists other active ingredients, read their labels and follow age recommendations.
The main thing to worry about is contamination or a poorly preserved product — the provided ingredient data notes that water itself has low concerns but finished products can be a problem if contaminated. Avoid using water from unclean containers or homemade mixtures that sit for a long time. If you see redness, swelling, warmth, pus, or other signs of infection or an unusual rash after using a product, stop use and contact your child’s healthcare provider.
