Jojoba esters are a plant-based moisturizing ingredient that is usually safe for children ages 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers). Most safety reviews find low risk for cancer, allergic problems, or effects on growth and development.
Use products made for kids or gentle skin products. Before wide use, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours to check for irritation. Use a small amount, avoid the eyes and mouth, and don’t put it on open cuts or sore skin. If a rash, swelling, or persistent irritation appears, stop use and check with your pediatrician.
