2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5), Glycine Soja Sterols — a soy-based skin softener — is generally safe to use on the skin. It is low risk for long-term health concerns and is commonly used in moisturizers.
Use products made for children or gentle formulations. Before regular use, test on a small patch of skin (inside of the elbow or forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Start with a small amount. Stop use and talk to your child’s doctor if you see a rash, persistent redness, swelling, or other unusual signs.
If your child has a known soy allergy, avoid products containing this ingredient. An industry safety review (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) mentions recommendations around manufacturing purity and concentration, so choose reputable brands and children’s products. Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (rash, hives, swelling, trouble breathing) and seek emergency care for severe reactions. If skin is broken or very irritated, avoid applying the product until healed.
