1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years) lauryl glucoside is generally safe. It’s a gentle cleansing ingredient used in baby shampoos, wipes and lotions. Most children won’t have problems, but a few people can get irritation or an allergic skin reaction.
Use products made for babies and toddlers that list this ingredient in low amounts. For face and body, choose gentle, fragrance‑free formulas. Rinse off shampoos and body washes, and avoid using leave‑on products with many rinse‑off surfactants frequently. If trying a new product, do a small spot check on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours to watch for redness.
Watch for redness, itching, rash or swelling after use — these are signs of irritation or allergy (based on human patch testing reports). Avoid applying products with this ingredient to broken, very dry or inflamed skin. Some safety reviews note it is safe with concentration limits (Cosmetic Ingredient Review), but patch testing studies have found rare allergic contact dermatitis (Patch testing with alkyl glucosides, 2019; Allergic contact dermatitis caused by alkyl glucosides, 2014). Animal reviews also reported reproductive effects only at moderate experimental doses (Ecology and Toxicology of Alkyl Polyglycosides, 2004). If you see a reaction, stop use and talk with your pediatrician or a dermatologist.
