For children aged 2–5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), proline is generally safe when used on the skin at normal product levels. It is a natural amino acid and safety reviews by government and industry experts show low concern for major health risks.
Use products made for kids or gentle formulas that list simple ingredients. Apply a small amount first to a small patch of skin to check for a reaction. Do not put products containing proline on broken or very red skin. Keep the product away from the child's mouth and eyes, and store it out of reach.
Government and expert reviews (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Environment Canada, and the Cosmetic Ingredient Review) indicate low concern for cancer, allergy, reproductive or organ harm, but some product standards recommend limits on concentration or require documentation of safe use — choosing child-friendly or sensitive-skin formulations is wise. If you see persistent redness, swelling, hives, blistering, or if the child swallows a large amount, stop use and contact your pediatrician or poison control right away.
