2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For 2-5 year olds (toddlers and preschoolers), Ceramide AP is generally very safe. It’s a skin-friendly ingredient that helps moisturize and protect the skin and has very low concern for long-term health effects according to the referenced ingredient assessment.
Use products that list Ceramide AP as part of a gentle moisturizer made for children or sensitive skin. Do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Apply to clean, intact skin as needed for dryness. Prefer products from reputable brands and follow the product directions.
Stop use and talk to your child’s pediatrician if you see any redness, swelling, rash, or other signs of irritation after using a product with Ceramide AP. Avoid using on open or badly broken skin. Note: the ingredient record used here flags a restriction used by some product verification programs — this means some verified products ask manufacturers to show extra documentation for this ingredient, not that the ingredient is known to be harmful. If you’re unsure, choose products labeled for children or for sensitive skin and check with your pediatrician.
