1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (1–2 years), this ingredient is generally safe when used in normal amounts on the skin. It’s a mild skin-conditioning ingredient with low risk of serious problems.
Use products that are made for babies or young children. If you’re unsure, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation before regular use. Keep products away from the eyes and mouth and do not let the child eat or lick the product. Prefer products formulated for toddlers and follow the product directions.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or itch where the product is applied — the ingredient database lists allergy and immune concerns as low but possible. Also avoid applying to broken, scraped, or inflamed skin. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration notes this ingredient is allowed for limited use in food, which supports low overall toxicity, but ingestion of concentrated cosmetic products should be avoided.
