Is this toddler-safe to use Wheat Gluten?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers (1-2 years old), wheat gluten used on the skin is usually low risk. Most little ones, toddlers, and young children won’t have a problem. The main issue is that children who are allergic to wheat could get a rash where the product is applied.
✅What to Do
If you use a product that lists hydrolyzed wheat gluten on a 1–2 year old (toddler, little kid): - Do a small patch test first: apply a tiny bit to the inside of the forearm and wait 24–48 hours. - Use on intact, unbroken skin only and avoid the mouth and eyes. - Start with a small amount and watch for any redness, itching, or swelling. - If your child has a known wheat allergy, avoid use on the skin or ask your pediatrician first. - If a rash or irritation appears, stop using the product and talk to your child’s doctor.
