For newborns and babies (0–6 months), this is generally a gentle cleansing ingredient with low safety concerns in adults, but babies’ skin is more sensitive and there’s limited data for this exact age. Use caution.
If you use a product that lists this ingredient on a baby under 6 months: choose a rinse-off, mild cleanser meant for babies; use a small amount; avoid the eye area; rinse well; do not use on broken or inflamed skin. If your baby has eczema, speak with your pediatrician before use.
Watch for redness, stinging, rash, or watery eyes and stop use if they appear. The safety panel that reviews cosmetic ingredients notes it should be used with some concentration or use limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and a European chemical agency found limited evidence of eye irritation (European Chemicals Agency).
