ℹ️General Overview

Okay for most toddlers (1–2 years) in small amounts, but it can cause skin allergies in some children.

What to Do

Do a patch test on the inner arm and wait 24–48 hours. Use on small areas only, choose products where it is low on the ingredient list, and try rinse‑off products first. Keep away from eyes, mouth, and broken or irritated skin. Stop using if you see any redness, itching, bumps, or swelling.

⚠️Warnings

Skin allergy risk is supported by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review. Research has gaps noted by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review, so be extra cautious with young children. It is also listed for use in foods by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but with limited toxicity details. Avoid if your child has plant allergies (like ragweed or daisies), and do not use on open cuts or eczema flares.
