For toddlers (1-2 years), this ingredient is generally considered OK in rinse-off products like baby shampoos and body washes. It can sometimes cause mild irritation or rare allergic reactions. The bigger concern is possible contamination during manufacturing, so product quality matters.
Use products specifically made for young children and that rinse off (shampoos, body washes). Do a small patch test behind the ear or on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before regular use. Rinse well after use. Avoid using products with this ingredient on broken skin or where your child has eczema. Prefer brands that state safety testing or manufacture controls.
Stop use and talk to your child's doctor if you see redness, rash, swelling, blisters, or persistent irritation. Be aware of contamination concerns listed by safety reviewers — impurities like 3-dimethylaminopropylamine and related amine residues have been identified as potential contaminants. Also note that expert reviews recommend concentration or use limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) — choose reputable products that follow those guidelines.
