Safe for preschoolers to use Water?
ℹ️General Overview
For children aged 2-5 years (toddlers and preschoolers), plain water used on the skin is very safe. Water by itself does not cause harm and is commonly the main ingredient in wipes and lotions.
✅What to Do
Choose products that list 'purified water' or 'sterile water' on the label when possible. Keep bottles and wipes closed and stored cleanly to avoid contamination. Use as directed on products and check other ingredients separately before applying to children.
⚠️Warnings
Avoid using products that look cloudy, smell off, or come from damaged packaging—these can be contaminated (source: Environment Canada assessments in the provided data). If your child develops redness, rash, swelling, or eye irritation after use, stop use, rinse the area with clean water, and talk to your pediatrician.
