2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and preschoolers (2–5 years), nonfat milk applied to the skin is usually safe for most children. The safety listing provided reports very low concerns for cancer, developmental harm, and immune/allergy problems when used on the skin.
If you want to use a product that contains nonfat milk on a 2–5 year old: do a small patch test first (apply a tiny amount to the inside of the arm and watch for 24–48 hours), avoid using it on broken or very irritated skin, choose a properly preserved product or single-use formulation (to avoid spoilage), and stop use and check with your child’s doctor if you see redness, swelling, itching, or any new rash.
Avoid topical nonfat milk if your child has a known cow’s milk allergy or severe eczema — they could react. Also avoid using homemade milk-only mixes on the skin for more than a short time because they can spoil without preservatives. These cautions come from the provided ingredient safety listing and general best-practice guidance for topical ingredients.
