Safe for preschoolers to use Beta Glucan?
ℹ️General Overview
Beta-glucan is generally safe for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5). It is used to help moisturize and calm skin and rarely causes problems.
✅What to Do
Before regular use, try a small patch test: put a little product on the inside of the child’s forearm and wait 24 hours. Use it on healthy skin only, avoid applying to deep cuts or infected areas, and keep products away from eyes and mouth. If your child has known eczema or very sensitive skin, check with your pediatrician or dermatologist before using.
