1-2 year old toddlers • Skin contact product
For toddlers (1–2 years) this plant-derived ingredient is usually low risk on the skin but can sometimes cause mild irritation. It is used as a natural soap-like ingredient to help products lather or mix together.
If you use a product that lists this ingredient on a 1–2 year old: choose a product made for children or sensitive skin, do a small patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours, avoid the eyes, mouth and any cuts, use the mildest product possible and stop use if you see redness, swelling, a rash or any breathing trouble.
Pay attention to irritation warnings from European chemical regulators (reports of limited eye and respiratory irritation and some toxicity concerns for concentrated exposures) and a 2019 review that found limited immune effects with saponins. Because of those reports, avoid products with high concentrations, avoid using near the face or mouth of toddlers, and seek medical advice if you see an allergic reaction or breathing problems.
