1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1-2 years) wood pulp is very low risk for use on normal skin. It’s a plant-based fiber used for absorbency and is not known to cause harm in normal topical products.
Pick products that list wood pulp (or purified cellulose) and have few extra ingredients. Prefer unscented options. Don’t use on broken skin or active rashes. If you want to test first, try a small patch on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to watch for redness or irritation.
The safety classifications from environmental health authorities (for example, Environment Canada) show low concern. Still, watch for added ingredients in the product (fragrances, preservatives, or processing chemicals) — those are more likely to cause irritation or allergy than the wood pulp itself. Stop use and talk to your child’s doctor if you see persistent redness, swelling, blistering, or any new rash.
