For children ages 2–5 (toddlers and preschoolers), Magnesium Aspartate applied to the skin is likely safe when used in normal amounts in creams or lotions. Overall safety notes show low concerns.
Use products meant for children or gentle skin care. Do a small patch test on the child’s inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use. Do not put products containing this ingredient on open cuts or raw skin. Keep out of eyes and mouth. If any redness, itching, swelling, or rash appears, stop use and talk to your child’s doctor.
Watch for skin irritation or signs of allergy (redness, swelling, hives). Industry reviewers (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) note recommendations or limits on safe use, and some product-verification programs require extra proof before allowing this ingredient — so check product labels and follow manufacturer guidance. If your child has very sensitive skin or a history of allergies, be extra cautious.
