2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
Hydrolyzed Rice Protein is usually safe for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2–5) when used on healthy, unbroken skin. The main issue to watch for is contamination from the rice source (for example, pesticide residues).
Use products made for children or from brands that test for contaminants; do a small patch test on the child's inner forearm and wait 24 hours before wider use; avoid applying to cuts, rashes, or irritated skin; stop use if you see redness, swelling, or a rash and talk to your child’s doctor if it’s severe.
A safety database notes contamination concerns (especially pesticides) and that some verification programs restrict this ingredient unless the maker shows impurity testing. While cancer and developmental concerns are marked as low in the database and are not the main focus, parents should be alert for skin reactions or signs of contamination. If your child has a known rice allergy, avoid this ingredient.
