Vitamin D used on the skin is usually safe for toddlers and young children (2–5 years) when it’s in low-strength products made for kids. It isn’t normally a cancer or allergy concern, but some countries limit how it can be used in cosmetics.
Use only products labeled for children or gentle skin formulas. Follow the product directions, use a small amount, and do a small patch test on the child’s arm before wider use. Avoid using prescription or high-strength vitamin D creams meant for medical treatment unless a doctor tells you to. If the child licks or swallows a product, contact your healthcare provider or poison control.
Regulatory limits have been placed by Health Canada and by EU cosmetics rules, so avoid products that list very high concentrations or are meant for pharmaceutical use. Stop use and seek advice if you see redness, swelling, rash, blistering, or other skin changes. Keep all skin products out of reach of children.
