2-5 year old preschoolers • Skin contact product
For toddlers and young children (ages 2–5), saccharide isomerate is a mild, plant-derived moisturizing ingredient used in many baby and kids' lotions and wipes. It is generally considered safe at normal use levels.
Use products made for children and follow the product directions. Before using a new lotion or cream on your child’s skin, do a small patch test on the inside of the forearm and wait 24 hours. Avoid putting the product on broken or very irritated skin. If your child has sensitive skin, choose fragrance-free and pediatric-formulated products.
The safety database used for this review rates concerns like cancer, allergy, and developmental effects as low, so these are not major risks. Still, watch for signs of a skin reaction (redness, rash, swelling, itching). If any of these appear, stop use and rinse the area, and contact your child’s pediatrician. Also be cautious when the product contains other ingredients (fragrance, preservatives) that could cause reactions — the reaction may come from those, not this ingredient.
