Safe for preschoolers to use Disodium Phosphate?
ℹ️General Overview
For toddlers and preschoolers (2-5 years), disodium phosphate in skin products is generally low risk. It mainly helps keep product pH stable and is not linked to serious long-term harms at normal topical use.
✅What to Do
Use products that are made for children when possible. Apply a small amount first (patch test) on a small area of your child’s arm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Avoid putting products in or near the eyes, and don’t use on cuts, scrapes, or very irritated skin. If your child’s skin becomes red, itchy, swollen, or painful, stop using the product and talk to your pediatrician.
