For toddlers (1-2 years): this is a gentle cleaning ingredient commonly used in baby shampoos and washes. It’s considered low risk for long‑term harm, but like any cleanser it can sometimes irritate eyes or very sensitive skin.
Use products made for babies or toddlers and prefer rinse‑off washes or shampoos. Do a quick patch test on a small area (behind the ear or inner arm) the first time you use a new product. Keep the product away from the child’s eyes; rinse well if it gets in the eyes. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, choose products labeled for sensitive skin and consult your pediatrician if unsure.
Watch for redness, itching, rash, or eye irritation after use. Limited evidence of eye irritation and notes about safe use with concentration limits come from industry safety reviews (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and regulatory data (European Chemicals Agency). Avoid using on broken or inflamed skin. If you see signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling, difficulty breathing), stop use and seek medical help immediately.
