For infants (0–6 months): use caution. This ingredient is a soap-like cleaner that can be irritating and carries a manufacturing contamination risk that is more important for newborn skin than the ingredient's base toxicity.
Try to use baby products specifically labeled for newborns or those that say they are free of sulfates or tested for impurities. If you must use a product with this ingredient, rinse thoroughly, use it rarely, and try a small patch on your baby’s skin first. Prefer products that clearly list safety testing or impurity controls.
Avoid products that do not list ingredient testing or impurity controls. Watch for redness, rash, fussiness after application, or any breathing changes and stop use if these occur. The warning is based on ingredient safety data showing contamination concerns with ethylene oxide and 1,4‑dioxane and on restrictions in some verified product lists.
