For toddlers (1–2 years) this ingredient is usually safe when it’s in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes. It’s a mild cleansing ingredient and most children won’t have a problem with it.
Choose products made for toddlers or young children, preferably rinse-off formulas. Do a small patch test (behind the ear or on the inner forearm) before first use. Rinse the product well, avoid getting it in the eyes, and stop using it if you see redness, swelling, or ongoing irritation. If your child has eczema or very sensitive skin, pick gentler formulations or ask your pediatrician.
There are reports of possible contamination with impurities (for example, aminoethylethanolamine) and limited reports of skin or eye irritation from laboratory studies and agency assessments. If a product is from an unknown maker or lacks safety documentation, consider avoiding it. Watch for redness, rash, itching, swelling, or eye irritation and seek care if symptoms are severe or persist. (Sources referenced: "Aminoethylethanolamine: a new allergen in cosmetics" 2001; comparative surfactant irritation studies 2007; European Chemicals Agency assessments.)
