1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years), this ingredient is generally safe in rinse-off products like gentle shampoos and body washes. It is a mild cleansing ingredient with low reported concerns.
Use products made for children or labeled gentle. Rinse well after washing. Do not use leave-on products with this ingredient on toddlers' skin unless the product is specifically made for that purpose. If your child has very sensitive skin, choose a product without this ingredient or do a small patch test first.
Watch for redness, rash, stinging, or swollen areas after use — these are signs of irritation or allergy. If you see hives, facial swelling, or trouble breathing, stop use and seek medical help right away. The caution about possible irritation and the guidance on safe formulation comes from assessments by a cosmetic ingredient safety panel (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) and product restriction notes from some verification programs.
